But I should have asked the question on the CentOS list, as you suggest; though I must admit one is more likely to get an answer here, even if the question is not strictly relevant. > 2 - Chances are that logs are going to /var/log/maillog That did indeed give the solution. Thank you. For some reason the error messages from dovecot now go to /var/log/maillog , while the old version set up a directory /var/log/dovecot . It turned out the problem was to do with the certificate I was using. > 3 - Was there an actual question somewhere?

The last update on Fedora caught me on the hop because it disabled non-secure protocols by default and I hadn't moved one of the clients over to an encrypted connection. If Centos has pushed the same update, you'll need to either use IMAPS or add an "address = *" line to the "inet_listener imap" section in "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf" Regards, -- Andy The only person to have all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

1 - Asking Fedora list for CentOS server software is off-topic and
potentially useless
2 - Chances are that logs are going to /var/log/maillog
3 - Was there an actual question somewhere?
