I have tried to installed dovecot 1.0.15 on Centos 4.6
./configure --with-pam
make
make install
It got installed without error
However when I do
[root@~ ]# service dovecot start
dovecot: unrecognized service
When I do [root@~ ]# # locate dovecot
It gives me many files......

Any help would be highly appreciated.
