Using dovecot-1.1beta1 I get "Unknown dict module: db"
when starting up dovecot. In dovecot.conf I've got the
"expire_dict = db:/var/lib/dovecot/expire.db" statement
in the plugin{} section. Aparently required when the
"expire" plugin is enabled. dovecot is built with
"--with-db" and db-devel is present at compile time.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers

You'll have to somehow kludge this yourself, or an easier way is to use dict proxy. It's configured the same way as SQL for dict quota: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict Note that the expire plugin hasn't been tested for a year or so, so be sure to test that it works before relying on it :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
