I was able to solve errors below but now it complains about the startup how is handled on Centos7:

● dovecot.service - LSB: Dovecot init script
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot; bad; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2020-03-19 15:15:37 UTC; 54s ago
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
  Process: 20398 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot start (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

Mar 19 15:15:37 systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Dovecot init script...

Mar 19 15:15:37 systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Dovecot init script.
Mar 19 15:15:37 systemd[1]: Unit dovecot.service entered failed state.
Mar 19 15:15:37 systemd[1]: dovecot.service failed.

Any thoughts on that matter?

Thanks,

Freshly compiled dovecot 2.3.9.3 on Centos 7 for some reason not able to start

sudo systemctl status dovecot.service

I have compiled the same code on Centos 6 and had no problem to run it.

Any thoughts on that?

Thanks,
