And something like Nagios won't bite you, because there was some timeout due to the filtering. -jhz

Does the atrpm repo provide the most uptodate version of dovecot? i have the following repos configured ->epel and rpm forge besides thestandard base,updates,addons,extras repos. The two location below are not, or at least don't seem to be, in the standard repository hierarchy. I used wget to pull them down to the system and used rpm to install them. So ... you won't be able to just "yum update" unless you add an entry in yum.repos.d for both of them. It would be nice to see the latest or nearly latest available via a simple yum update.

[Dovecot] CentOS 5 ... again
At this point I don't think I can do anymore damage to my mail server but I'd like to know if anyone else is using the pre-built RPM files from ATrpms before I install them? http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-1.1.11-0_90.el5.i386.rpm http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-sieve-1.1.6-9.el5.i386.rpm Or is there a dovecot-sieve for 1.0.7 from the rpmforge repo? I haven't found it yet but could have sworn I had it before. Thanks, Rod --
