I think the 1.1 branch has some changes to the auth code that might help. Read the dovecot wiki for the steps you need to follow to upgrade, especially if you want to go back. I really recommend you at least go to the 1.0 branch instead of the 0.99 beta in CentOS 4. The indexing improvements alone are worth it. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
