The latest available version of mail-filter/dovecot-antispam in Portage isn't compatible with >net-mail/dovecot-1.1.1-r1. Portage needs a new ebuild using the latest dovecot-antispam head version available here : http://git.sipsolutions.net/?p=dovecot-antispam.git;a=snapshot;h=HEAD;sf=tgz Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install net-mail/dovecot-1.1.4-r1 2. Install mail-filter/dovecot-antispam-20080829 3. Configure dovecot to use dovecot-antispam and launch it Actual Results: Oct 30 10:39:23 ks29138 dovecot: IMAP(hiltg): Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap Oct 30 10:39:23 ks29138 dovecot: IMAP(hiltg): Module is for different version 1.1.1: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/lib90_antispam_plugin.so Oct 30 10:39:23 ks29138 dovecot: Fatal: IMAP(hiltg): Couldn't load required plugins Expected Results: Oct 10 15:37:58 ks29138 dovecot: IMAP(hiltg): Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap Oct 10 15:37:58 ks29138 dovecot: IMAP(hiltg): Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/lib90_antispam_plugin.so Manually compiling the HEAD revision of the plugin, and replacing the old one in /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/ fixed the problem.

dovecot-antispam-20080829 works fine with dovecot-1.1.6 on my servers. Please recompile dovecot-antispam-20080829 after upgrading dovecot. If the plugin still fails to load, post the build log of dovecot-antispam.
