4. Installation ... 4.1. Software Downloads ... SOGo relies on the GNUstep and ytnef packages provided by Alinto and must not use the packages from EPEL. Adjust the repository definition to exclude those packages: sed -i '/enabled=1/a exclude=gnustep* ytnef*' /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo ...

I suspect that the following is applicable across all installations.

I wanted to bring this up too. Without this change the logs are filled up with this error message:

/usr/sbin/sogod: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/GNUstep/SOGo/Mailer.SOGo/Mailer: undefined symbol: TNEFCheckForSignature
