I don't know Redhat, but it seems to be wise to upgrade. What's the "Known Bug List" or "Known Security Holes" in Redhat EL 5.x?
What do you mean by that? BTW it's strange to me that Redhat never updated the main imap server part in there lon tearm supported enterprice distribution ... (RH EL 6 comes with dovecot 2.0 ok ... )
Are there security considerations to upgrade the base system, kernel remote exploits a.s.o.
I got your point. Hmm RHEL 5.9 is still well supported till Q1 2014 and further with minor or critical updates till 2017. (O.K. no dovecot update :D )
For now no really need for us to rush to an other major release.
You could look into building Dovecot from source to get v2.1 or v2.2.
May be I'll give that a try.
Thanks for your suggestions and feedback . Regards . Götz-- Götz Reinicke IT-Koordinator
