dovecot - Mar 2006 - first crack at auto-trash plugin

I have written an alpha version of an auto trash plugin for dovecot. 
When compiled in any mail expunged from a non-Trash folder is moved to a 
folder named Trash.  As of yet the folder is not created if it doesn't 
exist (the process fails before expunge).  I would appreciate feedback 
of any sort.  In addition, I am currently getting an error I haven't 
been able to puzzle out in the logs when it runs:

Mar 21 15:22:01 david dovecot: imap(david at grayskies.net): Timeout leak: 
0x807fad0

I see that it seems to relate to transactions somehow, but my few hours 
of playing with dovecot haven't given me the answer - so ideas/patches 
to the code would also be nice.

You can grab it here: http://wrath.grayskies.net/tarballs/auto-trash.tar.gz

I have Dovecot configured to accept only SSL connections right now, but
I would like to accept plain IMAP if the connection originates in
127.0.0.1/32 (and still require IMAPS for remote users).

What do I need to define in dovecot.conf to make this work?

Thanks,
Hugh

Just letting you know, that this plugin is of interest to me. I
haven't had a chance to try it, but I will be watching it to see how
it progresses.

Probably because you're not calling mailbox_close() for the mailbox you
opened.

One problem is that it doesn't support "UID EXPUNGE" command where
the
command allows giving an UID range of the messages to expunge. Although
Dovecot doesn't yet announce the UIDPLUS capability for this command,
because it's only partially implemented, so at least currently it isn't
a problem.

Maybe a bit cleaner way would be to hook into the actual expunge handler
and do the copying there before calling the real expunge handler. I
think that should work anyway :) plugins/acl/acl-mailbox.c shows an
example how to do this.
