To quote Zeffie, "Well don't blame me!", either.  Although my name was 
the last on it, I am hardly the "fool" who made the spec file.

rpm -q --changelog dovecot | grep "^*"

Looks like to me it was Seth Vidal @ Duke University who inital made 
the spec file, and then Redhat took it over, and then BQ Dev team. 
Now, I am not a rocket scientist, but if Redhat didn't add the line 
about noreplace either, I think I am off the hook.  They are a lot 
bigger then me :-)

Back the problem at hand, I compiled a new Dovecot RPM, based on the 
spec file I had, and this is what I get when I upgrade:

rpm -U dovecot-1.0.12-1BQ12.i386.rpm
warning: /etc/dovecot.conf created as /etc/dovecot.conf.rpmnew

Just an FYI, I looked at the existing dovecot.spec BEFORE & AFTER, and 
it stayed.

This is NOT caused by NuOnce or the BQ Developers, or Redhat, or even 
Duke.
