Michael, if we are running DNS Blacklists in our sendmail.cf, would it be
advisable to turn off YUM GUI update until the new update is published?
After the update is published, we could run yum update to get Dovecot in
place, edit the sendmail.mc to add the blacklists back in and generate a new
sendmail.fc, then turn YUM GUI back on.
When is the Dovecot update coming again?
