Re: [CentOS] Dovecot w/ MySQL Source RPM Issues

well, if you just look at the .spec file included in dovecot's

src.rpm -

you will find its already built with mysql support.

having said that, I had to get a dovecot install going with mysql support, and I took the easy way around, and left dovecot auth working against pam, and setting up pam_mysql to handle the backend.

Thank you! I should have looked a little closer before just trying to rebuild the source RPM. Sure enough I was able to get Dovecot working with a MySQL database by just doing 'yum install dovecot' and adding in the pointers to a configured dovecot-mysql.conf file.

Thanks again for the nudge in the right direction!
