You're using Dovecot 2.2.10, which is quite old. I remembered a bug like this, but I had to look it up. This is the original bug report:
Ah, sorry for taking your time on an old bug. For most of my servers, I try to use the RHEL/CentOS-provided packages where practical (because with over 100 servers running a wide variety of services, building everything from source takes more hours than I have in a day). The hazzard of course is chasing already-fixed bugs from time to time.
I also understand Red Hat's "stability" approach, where they tend to stick with a given upstream version and just patch it; few Open Source software developers have the time to maintain bugfix-only branches for the lifetime of a RHEL major version, and new features tend to mean new bugs as well.
Thanks for taking the time to point out the fix. I was hoping to have time this weekend to try the latest Dovecot release, but hadn't yet done that. I have opened a Red Hat bug to try to get this patch applied.
