dovecot - May 2010 - Setting up ACL for IMAP

Hi guys,

I just suscribed cause I'm trying to do something which I'm not sure
how.
I need to prevent some accounts from deleting there
emails.
>From what I've seen [0] this could be achieved by using ACL.
My first question is, is this right? Is there a way to achieve the
same using POP3?
I tried setting up ACL using the info at the Wiki [1], but it's not working.

What I've seen is that when I put:
protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = acl imap_acl
}

I get the following error:
May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration
May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: imap dump-capability: Couldn't read
capability (got 0 bytes)
May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: Invalid configuration, keeping old one
May 14 14:54:52 mail dovecot: child 32301 (unknown) returned error 82
(Internal logging error)

Looking on the internet I found out that I don't have the imap_acl lib
shared object.
This is what I have on /usr/lib/dovecot/lib/imap:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9884 Jan 21  2009 lib20_zlib_plugin.so

I'm running Dovecot 1.0.7 installed using yum on CentOS 5.4.
How can I get the necessary plugin?

Thanks,

Andr?s

acl plugin works with pop3 too.

This is kind of a bug. If you enable plugins, you need to restart
Dovecot (not reload).

You don't need to use imap_acl.
