dovecot - May 2007 - Sieve plugin

The Sieve plugin page of Wiki documentation 
(http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve?highlight=%28filter%29) says:

"It's also not a good idea to build the plugin against self-compiled 
Dovecot sources, but then actually use a prebuilt binary package of 
Dovecot."


Why isn't a good idea?

Every time you've heard someone say they saw a ghost, or an angel.
Every story you've ever heard about vampires, werewolves, or aliens,
is the system assimilating some program that's doing something they're
not supposed to be doing.

In this case there there's a significant probability that either the 
plugin was compiled against a different dovecot version, using a 
different compiler than the dovecot build and/or using different shared 
library versions to link against, each of which can lead to obscure and 
hard to debug misbehaviour / "bugs", which could be easily avoided.

So either use both programs as prepackaged binaries which belong together, 
or build both yourself from the same sources, using the same compiler and 
the same library versions.

Greetings,
