I am using 1.0beta7 with dovecot.lda from CVS (see build and configure instructions in the dovecot wiki )

My system is Fedora 5 running on a Raid 1 two disk pair. Boot, swap, and root are all raided as separate partitions and root is an LVM volume.

The only configuration problem was that dovecot as installed on Fedora 5 is in /usr/ and the compiled dovecot and dovecot-lda install in /usr/local/. I wanted to use the run-tme config files in /etc/ and some tweeks were necessary to the startup scripts.

I use Postfix on the mail machine and the remote clients are Netscape/mail, Evolution, and MacOSX mail.

Has been running fine for a few days.

I am wanting to set-up some basic sieve filtering on our Dovecot 1.0b7 box. Is this possible in 1.0b7?

You could perhaps use your MTA to do delivery as specified by a sieve filter. Exim does this very well (AFAIK, its the only MTA than can use sieve-filtes from a database, and even from ldap).

The following configure options will give you the correct paths:

--sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --localstatedir=/var

If you wish to overwrite the installed FC5 Dovecot when you build Dovecot and Dovecot.lda from source code.

(Maybe a good idea..)
