Unusual Ubuntu Upset

I finally upgraded to Ubuntu's latest release, Oneiric Ocelot, a week and a half ago, or so. It was the first Ubuntu upgrade that was a hassle, at all.

The new release of dovecot (an IMAP server) was broken by the upgrade, which caused a loss of all of my email for several days, along with hassling everyone sending me email as everything bounced. Once I figured out that dovecot's delivery agent no longer accepted the '-n' flag, and removed that from postfix's configuration file (and removed all of the pending bounces from being sent), everything was hunky-dory.

Pain in the arse.

Hopefully, nobody else got horked by the problem.
