Running CentOS Linux 5 with sendmail-procmail putting email in
/var/spool/mail. I'm running pop3 only with the servers configured to
authenticate with ldap (which is configured and running OK). I do have
this same configuration on an older FC6 box and it works fine. I'm
thinking I just need to upgrade dovecot given all the nss_ldap problems
it has had, but I hate not using RPM packages and CentOS does not have
upgraded packages.<br>
<br>
Hardware is Dell PowerEdge 1900 (64bit) with 2G RAM. Hopefully I'm
doing something stupid and there's an easy fix for the packages and
configuration I have.<br>
<br>
I'm seeing the following in the /var/log/maillog when I run dovecot.
When I log in via telnet, I get the connection, but it never responds
when I enter a user.<br>
