It says you have package "dovecot-pigeonhole" installed. but iRedMail will install dovecot-managesieve to replace it.

So, please remove "dovecot-pigeonhole" first.

Thanks for all the help. I tried removing that but it said that it was not even there. I actually just gave up and set up a fresh instance running Ubuntu 12 and iRedMail installed with no issues at all. Easy.

I should have done that in the first place. I think the issue was that the dovecot in the amazon repo is not compatible with the other tools. Either way, I'm all set now.

For anybody else stuck, I recommend using one of the supported distributions (i.e. CentOS, Ubuntu, etc.)

That's the package that I've tried removing already. Is it possible that I require a *different* version of dovecot?

I am somewhat new to this, so please excuse what might seem like a basic question, but: Is it possible to force yum to install a different version of yum - one that does not come from the "amaz-main" repository?

Thanks for you all your help with this.

No, if there's no other conflict.

I tried again to uninstall dovecot and then to install iRedMail and it's still giving the exact same errors. I will note that I am trying to install on the Amazon default AMI. I used instructions from here:
http://www.inboxs.com/index.php/linux-o … ail-on-ec2

to fake that the system is really "CentOS release 6.2 (Final)" so that it would install. However, do you think it is possible that there is a conflict?

No, if there's no other conflict.

Please remove installed dovecot packages first, then try again.

That was the first thing that I tried. I did:

sudo yum remove dovecot

Is there anything else necessary to remove?

How is this solved? What does "setting higher priority in iRedMail repo file" mean?

- The most important: rebuild Postfix to enable PostgreSQL support. It requires only one switch in RPM SPEC file, it's really easy.
- Amavisd-new. The latest stable version, 2.8.0, is preferred.
- Cluebringer. http://www.policyd.org/. Provides grey-/white-/blacklisting, SPF/HELO checking, accounting/throttling, etc.
- Fail2ban. This is really useful.
- Awstats.
- Jinja2. A python template engine. http://jinja.pocoo.org/ Required by iRedAdmin.
- Web.py. A web framework for Python that is as simple as it is powerful. http://webpy.org/ Required by iRedAdmin.

Note:

- Of course we need the dependence RPMs required by above packages.
- Some are already available in EPEL, but most of them are out-of-date.

- iRedMail doesn't work with SELinux.
- Red Hat doesn't provide several major components and their dependencies, e.g. Amavisd, Policyd.
- Many packages in EPEL are out-of-date. So i use pkgs.repoforge.org instead.

Fair enough... do your rebuild the packages in the iRedMail repo for security updates/etc?

Maybe a good idea to rename re-packaged postfix to postfix-pgsql, so that installing iRedMail with LDAP/MySQL backends won't install it from iRedMail yum repo.

Seems there was also an issue with the amavis/clamav packages which came either from redhat or from peel.

Any details?

Unfortunately, not. Unclear if an issue with RPM stuff or something screwy because I had selinux turned on when I did the intial install. I did a complete reinstall of iredmail using iredmail.repo with the highest priority and with selinux off, and all worked well.

Quite a few package overrides in iredmail, so being able to use the Redhat (or even epel) provided packages where possible would be a good thing.
