So, if I would debug the antispam plugin, adding more log messages, finding the 
reason it doesn't work now, would my changes be included in the antispam 
distribution? Do you know any documentation about the Dovecot plugin API? I 
couldn't find any.

Thanks for the hint. This looks interesing, but also quite complicated. I've 
read the two pages you specified. Is there any good documentation? I have Peer 
Heinlein's Dovecot book. But there isn't much in it about plugins.
