Thanks Rod,
So I guess my big question here is, how do I upgrade this sucker?
I'd love to just use an RPM, but if this was originally installed via
source will I mess it up?
When I do rpm -qa | grep dovecot I get dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5
I think the default for RHEL 5. CentOS 5, etc.
BUT
dovecot --version shows me a different #
Meaning your are not running the RPM installed version.

You should and see if there is more than one installed and
So --version shows just one version, 1.0.3 (pretty damn old)
So try a 'which dovecot' to see if you have more than one installed. And if
there is more than one look in /etc/init.d (for SysV-type systems - YMMV)
for a dovecot file and see which one it is calling.
'which dovecot' just gives me /usr/local/sbin/dovecot
Taking a look at /etc/init.d/dovecot shows me it's staring Dovecot
using /usr/local/sbin/dovecot
My guess (without know what "dovecot --version" reported) would be that
you are probably running a tarball installed version.
A quick check of the repositories, including rpmforge, indicates the
latest "official distribution" version is 1.0.7-2.el5.
To get the latest and greatest you'll have to either build your own RPM
or do a tarball install.
Good computing,
Rod

and
ps auxw | grep dovecot does show that's the one that's running
/usr/local/sbin/dovecot
