I don't get it. I do 'yum install dovecot' and 'service dovecot start'
and it answers on pop3/pop3s/imap/imaps on my network interface.
Is that the current fedora version you are describing?
I'm running dovecot under CentOS 4.4. I like more stability and less
volatility for my server than FC provides. The "customization" is
required since I only want dovecot to listen for IMAP/POP connections on
my internal LAN. Yes, these ports are blocked on my external NIC but I
like the idea that dovecot doesn't accept connections from an external
address. I also vaguely remember that it complained for some reason I
didn't specify just the internal network. Unfortunately, that was long
enough ago that I don't recall the exact complaint.
Dovecot on my server is:
[root@fraud etc]# rpm -q dovecot
dovecot-0.99.11-4.EL4
It looks like 1.1 is available for FC6. From "yum info dovecot":
Available Packages
