Hello Steffen,

Long story short: changing the plugin extension worked, thanks! Now for the details ...

I'm trying to setup dovecot-antispam, and even though the configuration and the installation seem to have gone well, dovecot is telling me it's not finding it.

You are not running a full Dovecot install, so doveconf -n is not working?

doveconf -n is working:

I note that it is the only plugin with the ".bundle" extension, if it's important.

what OS is this?

OS X 10.9.1

Did you've seen some like this:

make install Entering directory src. Leaving directory src. Entering directory doc. Leaving directory doc. Entering directory src. Successfully installed lib90_antispam_plugin.so. Leaving directory src. Entering directory doc. Successfully installed dovecot-antispam.7. Leaving directory doc.

Almost (the extension of the plugin was different):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- schmitta@top-wifi ~/s/dovecot-antispam-plugin> make install Entering directory src. Leaving directory src. Entering directory doc. Leaving directory doc. Entering directory src. Successfully installed lib90_antispam_plugin.bundle. Leaving directory src. Entering directory doc. Successfully installed dovecot-antispam.7. Leaving directory doc. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Does build.mk contain "LIB_SUFFIX=.bundle" ?

No. I don't have a "build.mk" but a "buildsys.mk", and it has the following regarding LIB_SUFFIX:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- schmitta@top-wifi ~/s/dovecot-antispam-plugin> grep LIB_SUFFIX buildsys.mk LIB_SUFFIX = .dylib --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What happens if you rename lib90_antispam_plugin.bundle to whatever the other plugins are named?

That was it! Renaming to ".dylib" did nothing, but renaming to ".so" worked (insofar as the plugin loaded, I'm getting the expected error that antispam plugin folders are not configured).

Where should I report this building issue? Is there an antispam bug tracker?

Thanks again,

Alan
