I have to agree with you on this. I'm relatively new with Dovecot and have been evaluating it for deployment in a production environment. I must say that Dovecot has the most unusual development method of a large-scale project I've seen. There have been so many show-stopping bugs in the past 10 releases that I wouldn't even consider this a candidate for a Beta release at this point, let alone a production release. I'm very appreciative of all the hard-work the author(s) have put into this, but I think at some point they need to take a hard-look at the way they develop and release distributions. It seems extremely sloppy and I know it's confusing to others besides myself. -- Dean Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED]
