Hello:
CentOS 5.2
Postfix 2.3.3 + updates (bundled with CentOS 5.2)
Dovecot-1.0.7 (bundled with CentOS 5.2)
Dovecot-1.1.1 (Updated from www.atrpms.com)
Dovecot-sieve-1.1.5 (Updated from www.atrpms.com)
During the last few days I have installed dovecot many times without errors.
Today I installed dovecot-1.1.1 & sent a test message to 'test at
tib.com'. I
received the following message back:

-----------------------
I believe that dovecot-1.1.1 may be causing it. I did not have this problem
when I was testing dovecot-1.0.7.
Google show 'Permission denied' error problem going back to several
years.
One suggestion on Google was to 'disable' SElinux, which I did without
success.
Any ideas why this error is happening?
