I started from scratch: Unpacked the original 1.2.1 sources, applied
your patch, compiled, installed to a blank directory, wiped the MySQL
database table containing expire timestamps. I then copied my existing
configuration files to the new Dovecot instance, changed every '/' to
'.' in the "expire = ..." line, and now the expire plugin works as
expected! This baffles me significantly, because your patch only adds
some logging output and I have already tried using '.' before reporting
back to you in the first place. I appreciate that it is working now,
but it is a weird behaviour nonetheless... (*scratches head*) ?!?
