dovecot - Sep 2008 - antispam plugin problem with dspam

I'm trying to use the dovecot antispam plugin with dspam.

I'm running dovecot 1.1.2.

Using thunderbird and IMAP, when I drag a spam message from the inbox
into the SPAM folder, I get a popup saying "The current command did not
succeed.  The mail server responded: antispam signature not found.

When I look at the message in the maildir folder, I see the dspam
signature both in the header of the message and at the end of the body.

What's a good way to debug this situation and figure things out?  I'm
not seeing anything in any log files, and I'm not seeing much in the way
of debug capability in the dovecot antispam plugin.

Would it be better if the antispam plugin logged whatever stderr output
came from the dspam invocation?

save the message to a file and pass it to dspam on the console.

Hi!

I have the same problem right now. I tripple checked all the config
files. First, I was using dovecot 1.1.1 (which could not work, as I read
in the archives), then tried it with 1.1.3 and now with version 1.1.2.
I have a virtual mail setup with postfix, mysql, dspam, amavis-new,
clamav and spamassassin.

The problem seems that the antispam plugin cannot run the dspam binary,
although its path is properly specified (in my case on DragonFlyBSD in
/usr/pkg/bin/dspam). With debug to syslog all variables are shown in as
they should.

The plugin also reacts when I try to move the spam-mail to the Spam
folder. (I redefined the SPAM-folder to be called Spam)

If I reassamble the command on the shell (I need to add --user
dl at pless... to the command with the signature) , dspam retrains the
message in its database.

So it seems that dovecot seemed not to be able to run dspam. I enabled a
shell (temporarly) for dovecot and run dspam from there, and it
succeeded. It just doesn't work from the plugin.

What could I check next? I really like the idea behind the plugin and
would like have it working.

I am using the antispam git-version from 7. Sept. 2008.

Thanks in advance
