 This was from an RPM created in one of the CentOS add-on packagers.
 I ran a dovecot -n against this being commented and un- commented and didn't

 Can that be done at compile time or could the code have been modified?

Yes. So I guess the Centos package really changed the defaults and
there's no problem.

[Dovecot] need some help please

[Paul A]

We currently had dovecote 99 running and ran into some issues with it,
mainly our pop3 sessions timeout and were slow.

I upgraded to the latest version and im serving imap with pop3 using pam.

Heres my pam file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# cat /etc/pam.d/dovecot
#%PAM-1.0
authrequiredpam_unix.so nullok
account requiredpam_unix.so

The problem I'm having is I can authenticate to imap, but it's very slow,
however pop3 doesn't work at all. 
I have auth debug set and I can see the imap authentication but not pop3.

Here is my config file.

Using maildir's with pam authentication, I really would appreciate any help.
