dovecot - Jan 2009 - Fatal: Plugin sieve_plugin not found from directory

Hi list,

Enabling plugins returns fatal errors like the following:
     Jan 16 00:28:11 norman dovecot: deliver(jman at zultron.com): Fatal:
     Plugin sieve_plugin not found from directory /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda

Same errors for loading plugins in the "protocol imap" section of 
dovecot.conf (tested trash_plugin), same errors for loading other 
plugins (tested virtual_plugin), same errors for different spellings of 
"mail_plugins" (lib90_sieve_plugin.so, sieve_plugin.so, sieve_plugin).

The directory must be correct, because if lib90_sieve_plugin.so is 
copied to sieve_plugin.so:
     Jan 16 00:33:16 norman dovecot: deliver(jman at zultron.com): Fatal:
     Multiple files for module sieve_plugin:
     /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so,
     /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/sieve_plugin.so

Invoking the deliver process with strace showed /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda 
being opened, fstated, and getdents returned the expected results, 
including
     {d_ino=67593, d_off=608760247, d_reclen=40,
     d_name="lib90_sieve_plugin.so"}

After this, the plugin (nor any other file, aside from /etc/localtime) 
was not opened, the above error was sent, and deliver exited.

The RPM was recompiled for CentOS 5.1 from an ArkLinux Dovecot 1.2 SRPM; 
the specfile appears to be of the same lineage as the Rawhide Dovecot 
1.1 SRPM, and it's quite straightforward.  I did add the ManageSieve 
patch to it, and otherwise no noteworthy changes.

Others on the list who had this problem usually suffered from 
misspellings in mail_plugins or incorrect mail_plugin_dir; the "multiple 
files" error seems to eliminate this as a possibility.  One other fellow 
had this problem, and fixed it with a recompile; however, since this is 
an SRPM, there's not much room for random changes in the process, and 
recompiling didn't fix the problem.

Without dovecot plugins enabled, dovecot and deliver are working well in 
a postfix/LDAP/virtual domains configuration.

Below is the dovecot -n output.

Thanks

	John

Why do you try to add the _plugin suffix? AFAIK no example anywhere
suggests doing that.

That did the trick!

In case others miss the blindingly obvious like I did, I added a line to 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve so there's an example to go by.  Hope 
it's appropriate:
   #mail_plugins = sieve # the new Sieve plugin

Cheers
