CentOS 6/Dovecot Issue

I have just done a Virtualmin Pro install on clean CentOS 6 (x64). After the install (which completed without any errors) I have found some issues with Dovecot.

  1. Dovecot was not added to automatic startup
  2. When I try to start and/or stop Dovecot Virtualmin hangs (webpage stops responding)

When I start dovecot from the console I got:

Starting Dovecot Imap: doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:26: protocols=imaps is no longer necessary, remove it doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:26: protocols=pop3s is no longer necessary, remove it

It then start successfully, but I cant stop or restart it on virutalmin. When I do this, the webpage stops responding.

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Ok, I see the cause of this .. the Dovecot startup script has changed in behavior in CentOS 6.

The work-around is to SSH in as root and run /etc/init.d/dovecot start ; chkconfig dovecot on .

I will fix this in the next Webmin release.
