Hello!
Let me smuggle 2 questions in 1 email:
- I upgraded from 1.1.7 to 2.0.1, but couldn't get it to work, because the 'dovecot + postfix sasl howto' doesn't seem to be updated and the old sasl settings are incompatible with new version. How do I set up sasl with dovecot2 ? Is there any updated howto available?
- In dovecot 1.1.7: my expire_plugin seems to work fine, new entries are correctly added to the dictionary, but the messages don't actually get expunged. expire_tool says: dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: maildir: data=~/Maildir Info: maildir++: root=/home/virtual/<domain>/<user>/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/virtual/<domain>/<user>/Maildir Info: <user>@<domain>/Trash: timestamp 1285005106 (Mon Sep 20 18:51:46 2010
- -> 1290102903 (Mon Sep 20 18:51:46 2010
- Info: <user2>@<domain>/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Sat Nov 6 18:33:12 2010
Messages are only updated in the dictionary, but nothing is ever expunged. Any idea why?
Output of dovecot -n:

Create dict. table query:
CREATE TABLE expires (
mailbox varchar(255) NOT NULL,
expire_stamp int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (mailbox)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
expire dict. conf:
table = expires select_field = expire_stamp where_field = mailbox username_field = not_used
And is there a point in using expire plugin without autocreate plugin? Because trash can be called wastebasket for example, and then it doesn't work. Spam can be called Junk, and again, it doesn't work.
Any response to these queries would be greatly appreciated.
