I just signed up for the mailing list. I saw a thread a few days ago referencing dspam plugin and saying a page would be updated, but I cannot find any documentation on dovecot plugins anywhere except mentions in this archive... can someone direct me to the plugins page?

I got it going.

For others, tip #1: in the dovecot.conf don't grep for "plugins", grep for "modules". You have to uncomment the lines (and change "no" to "yes") in both imap and pop3 protocol sections.

#mail_use_modules = no #mail_modules = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap

Tip #2, check the 'errors' log file. Dovecot uses the "least privileges" approach and my system installed the dovecot files readable only by root.

I added the tips to the DRAC section on the Dovecot wiki.

Yeah, I do the mistake too all the time :) Maybe the default config should have a comment like

# set this to yes to load plugins #mail_use_modules = no #mail_modules = ...

This actually is changed already in CVS:

# Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. #mail_plugins = #mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
