What would be the correct way to setup qmailtoaster and vpopmail to
work with repository versions of clamav,spamassassin and dovecot?

The next version of Qmailtoaster will be able to utilize the distro's
clamav and spamassassin packages. I have not delved too deep into the
actual mail store delivery yet, so I cannot say for certain whether or
not the stock Dovecot packages will work.
I was not able to make it work with repo dovecot. But, i've downloaded
dovecot.1.2.6.src.rpm from dovecot.org. After compiling and installing it
took me few minutes to make it work with qmailtoaster. Dovecot is able to
read vpopmail maildirsize and quota id displayed correctly. Also, with
dovecot autocreate plugin i was able to force creation and subscription of
Spam/Trash/Sent/Drafts folders. Plugin checks if given folders exists upon
login and if not it creates them. Roundcube was able to pick up folders
without my intervention (i don't have squirrelmail installed so i don't
know if squirrelmail would work with default toaster settings). So, as far
as i can see qmailtoaster is able to work with dovecot out of the box.
Also, so far, i think that dovecot is much faster than courier and uses
lot less resources. But, i will have to test that more.

That's all good to know Igor. Others have reported a major performance
improvement as well.
The biggest gotcha I'm aware of is compiling with vpopmail configured,
which the stock CentOS package does not. Everything else is pretty
trivial. Dovecot does an excellent job of putting things in order
automatically (such as indexes and such). It appears to be quite robust
in that regard.
Did you reference any materials to do this (like Aleksander's post on
this list), or did you make your way on your own?
The autocreate plugin sounds interesting. I don't know honestly know
what typically handles this. From what I've heard there's no real
standardization of these folders, and different mail clients can (and
do) have slightly different names for them. This was discussed recently
on the vpopmail list iirc.
Thanks Igor!
