Hi guys,

I just suscribed cause I'm trying to do something which I'm not sure how. I need to prevent some accounts from deleting there emails.

From what I've seen [0] this could be achieved by using ACL. My first question is, is this right? Is there a way to achieve the same using POP3? I tried setting up ACL using the info at the Wiki [1], but it's not working.

What I've seen is that when I put: protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl }

I get the following error: May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: imap dump-capability: Couldn't read capability (got 0 bytes) May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: Invalid configuration, keeping old one May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: child 32301 (unknown) returned error 82 (Internal logging error)

Looking on the internet I found out that I don't have the imap_acl lib shared object. This is what I have on /usr/lib/dovecot/lib/imap:

total 48 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 May 6 22:07 lib01_acl_plugin.so -> ../lib01_acl_plugin.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 May 6 22:07 lib02_lazy_expunge_plugin.so -> ../lib02_lazy_expunge_plugin.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 May 6 22:07 lib10_quota_plugin.so -> ../lib10_quota_plugin.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5552 Jan 21 2009 lib11_imap_quota_plugin.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 902 Jan 21 2009 lib11_imap_quota_plugin.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7380 Jan 21 2009 lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 May 6 22:07 lib11_trash_plugin.so -> ../lib11_trash_plugin.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 May 6 22:07 lib20_convert_plugin.so -> ../lib20_convert_plugin.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 May 6 22:07 lib20_mail_log_plugin.so -> ../lib20_mail_log_plugin.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9582 Jan 21 2009 lib20_zlib_plugin.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 864 Jan 21 2009 lib20_zlib_plugin.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9884 Jan 21 2009 lib20_zlib_plugin.so

I'm running Dovecot 1.0.7 installed using yum on CentOS 5.4. How can I get the necessary plugin?

Thanks,

Andrés
