I remember it was something fairly trivial that most people weren't affected by, just me and that idiotic 386SX I had. This must have been, what, still in the 0.12 days 'cause I remember using HJ Lu's Boot/Root floppies (the 5.25" buggers). Ah, the memories...

Please feed me (or directly the dovecot list) with any information you can gather. (Until now I though you were running 0.99.x previously) No, it was with the 0.99 version. I had just noticed that there was a slightly older version on atrpms (1.0.0-8_56.el4.at) so I was looking to downgrade to it and see what happens. -- Boring Home Page - http://www.webtrek.com/joe See my blog, sumo game ranks and other interesting junk ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Do you have a /etc/dovecot.conf.rpmnew?
Maybe you need to diff the files and see if something changed.
No .rpmnew or .rpmold or any variation.
If you were running 0.99 from stock CentOS before the upgrade, then you
definitely need to fix your config file.
I was running 0.99 something (whatever was in base). Is there
something specific I need to look for? This is the current content of the
conf file (excluding comments) -
--8<--8<--
protocol imap {
}
protocol pop3 {

protocol lda {
postmaster_address = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb pam {

I've had a similar problem that I haven't been able to resolve yet. I downgraded to dovecot 1.0.0 (from atrpms) and all is well. I think that the authentication methods are changing and I was planning some research tomorrow.

If it had been modified before the upgrade then the new config file lands under /etc/dovecot.conf.rpmnew. That's right, I did change the example email address from "example.com" to "webtrek.com" in the "protocol lda" section but that shouldn't hurt anything, should it? -- Boring Home Page - http://www.webtrek.com/joe See my blog, sumo game ranks and other interesting junk ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Just for grins I did a yum search for all the available versions

$ yum search dovecot | grep ^dovecot | awk 'NF == 3 {print $0}'
dovecot.i386 1.0.0-8_56.el4.at atrpms

dovecot.i386 0.99.11-4.EL4 sl-release
dovecot.i386 1.0.1-1_57.el4 installed
Maybe dropping back to 1.0.0-8_56.el4.at might be worth a test. I may try
that later today.

See http://wiki.dovecot.org/UpgradingDovecot I know, I've already run into the issue of needing to fix/clear out the index bug. for details. If you were using the default config nothing really affects you, but since you have troubles there must be something changed. Also check with rpm -V dovecot whether the config files are changed and whether you have *.rpmnew files instead. No config changes were made, just 'yum update'. No *.rpmnew files that I can find. Running rpm -V gives - $ rpm -V dovecot . c /etc/dovecot.conf I have done a service restart for it just to make sure nothing was hung or something.
