Hello,
Does dovecot require mysql in order to work? Fedora rpms are claiming mysql dependencies.
I'm sure you're aware of the long-lived arguement of postgresql v. mysql.
If it wasn't your intention to force this, then please snarl at Red Hat. If it was your intention, then grrrrr!
Thanks for this product. I like it for it's speed and stability.

For common email serving with IMAP and POP3, no.
For IMAP and POP3 session proxying with 1.0-test releases, yes.
Any supported SQL database will work then, ie. Postgres too.. Actually I think LDAP also works nowadays by just giving all the required parameters in user_attrs field.
static userdb works too, assuming you can set the template correctly with its limited functionality..
passwd-file should probably be modified to supports extra parameters too some day.

Hi Jim,
Dovecot doesn't require it by default, but the Fedora RPM was build with mysql support, hence why it requires it (postgre as well I think).
