Thanks for trying to help, but "I tried this too" in response to your suggestion would seem to imply that I tried it the way you suggested.

I was never able to get the cores to work. Yes, /tmp was publically writeable and I tried changing kernel_pattern and all that, but none of it worked.

Will there be an update of the RPM at http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/? It's hard enough for automating deployment of new servers that I have to use a downloaded RPM instead of using yum, since I doubt CentOS's two-year-old version of 1.0.7 will ever be updated. Compiling from source is a pain but I'll use it for now. Mark
