Hi,

dose anybody did a dovecot update from the original 1.0.7 to e.g. 1.1 or 1.2 from atrpms repository?

We dont have any special settings; Each user one mbox mailbox. About 500 imap/pop3 accounts, 400GB data.

Any suggestions and comments are welcome.

 Regards . G. Reinicke

I use the city-fan repo. I think I'm running dovecot 2.1.15 or so...

And did you do an upgrade from a running, working 1.0 installation?

regards . Götz

No, I installed via city-fan right from the start, and I've since upgraded the system to centos 6.x as well.

I am still running dovecot-1.2.17 on CentOS-5, I think the 2.0 and newer versions do get into trouble with selinux.

Recompiled within a local koji setup, based on newer RH rpms, so no atrpms version for me. Download from http://jur-linux.org/download/el-updates/5/

best regards,

I am running various machines (on CentOS 5.5 to 6.3,) with dovecot from 1.1.1 to 2.2beta1, the latter by compiling and installing into default /usr/local. All machines have selinux disabled :)!! Highly suggest reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading since there are gotchas for most upgrades that may or may not apply to your case.
