<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>Our organisation has dependencies. There is a separate team/department who creates the servers for us. When they build a new RHEL system, the system will come up with various in-house softwares/tools. Those tools are not compatible as of now with RHEL8. So, our organisation is going with redhat 7.7 only as of today which is supported for all in-house tools also. </div><div><br></div><div>This is my current situation: </div><div><br></div><div>1) </div><div><br></div><div>I have 2 test servers which are loaded with the following configuration. <br></div><div><br></div><div>=============<br>[root@devap01 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-*<br>Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.10 (Santiago)<br><br>[root@devap01 ~]# dovecot --version<br>2.0.9<br><br>[root@devap01 ~]# postconf | grep mail_version<br>mail_version = 2.6.6<br>=============== </div><div><br></div><div>So, I would like to install the max possible dovecot version on the above servers for the testing purpose. I would like to implement the HA/Resilience with those 2 servers. I have shared storage and individual storage in this environment. But I am seeing some issues with both of them ( I explained details in my first email thread). please see if you can help.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>2) If it is successful, I will get two RHEL 7.7 servers to implement the same in LIVE environment for HA/Resilience. </div><div> <br></div><div><br></div><div>First I am going with compatibility issues to resolve in my environment. Once that is resolved, I will go with HA/Resilience implementation. </div><div><br></div><div>Please let me know if you need any more details.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks & Regards,</div><div>Kishore Potnuru</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jul 8, 2020 at 8:57 PM Marc Roos <<a href="mailto:M.Roos@f1-outsourcing.eu">M.Roos@f1-outsourcing.eu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>

I have no idea what his issue is, and why he is stuck even in specific <br>
releases. I have been running dovecot on el6 and el7 for years and years <br>
without issues.<br>
