Hi!
Anybody has this working? I mean, at least somebody has to use this
expire plugin with BDB, no? :D
I think, maybe the problem is withing the plugin { expire = } setting;
to be honest, I'm a little confused with this.
I have a maildir layout like this:
[..some dirs..]/$USER/Maildir/
Under the above directory, there are the users' subdirectories. So the
subdirectory in question (spamassassin/SPAM), is
"[..somedirs..]/$USER/Maildir/.spamassassin.SPAM/"
# ls -1a [..somedirs..]/$USER/Maildir/.spamassassin.SPAM/
./
../
cur/
dovecot-uidlist
dovecot.index
dovecot.index.cache
dovecot.index.log
maildirfolder
new/
tmp/
According to the WIKI page, I must write this to my dovecot.conf:
plugin {
expire = spamassassin/SPAM 1
expire_dict = proxy::expire
}
That is, if I want to expire the emails under the spamassassin/SPAM
directory, after 1 day. Is this correct? I'm asking this because with
this setup, the expire-tool does nothing... nothing in the logs either.
I've experimented with "expire = spamassassin.SPAM" and
"expire=spamassassin/SPAM/*" too, but no luck. Could someone send me
some working dovecot.conf, and setup, so I can diff it against mine? Or
maybe just a little tossing in the right direction would be enough.
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I'm using dovecot-1.1.5 and trying to make the expire plugin work.
What I've configured in dovecot.conf is the following:
protocol imap,pop3,lda {
mail_plugins = [...] expire
}
dict {
expire = db:/var/dovecot/expire/expire.db
}
plugin {
expire = spamassassin/SPAM 2 spamassassin/HAM 2
expire_dict = proxy::expire
}
I have a sieve rule, to copy certain messages to my "spamassassin/SPAM"
folder. Then I want to expire those messages after 2 days (I think I've
configured that under the plugin{} section in dovecot.conf).
So the actual message saving is done by the dovecot's deliver, but I
have the plugin loaded under the "protocol lda {}" section too.
So I thought now I just have to wait 2 days, and run the expire-tool,
and then it will expire the messages.
Now I have three messages dated back to 10.25, but running the
expire-tool outputs nothing.
# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test
Nothing in the logfiles, and nothing on the console. I have the
/var/dovecot/expire directory:
# ls -la /var/dovecot/expire/
total 1640

It contains the familiar BDB files, so I think it works, although the
expire.db's modify time is yesterday, but deliver saved some messages
also today to the spamassassin/SPAM folder.
What could be the problem? Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Daniel
