They don't back patch old versions, and the problem you ask about might be already fixed. Just look at the dovecot list. People still pop in and ask why 0.99 has this problem, because that is what their distro came with, but they are currently at 1.0.5, and have 1.1 in beta. Who has the time to backport fixes to old versions if you don't get paid for it? -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
