So, I setup a development environment that mimics the production environment in question. Must I install Dovecot from source to install Antispam from source? Because I installed Dovecot using a back-ported package ( https://launchpad.net/~christian-roessner-net/+archive/dovecot ) and when I go to install the Antispam plug-in from source, executing the "configure" script yields the following error: # ~/dovecot-antispam-plugin# ./configure [...] checking for dovecot-config in "/usr/local/lib/dovecot"... not found configure: configure: Use --with-dovecot=DIR to provide the path to the dovecot-config file. configure: error: dovecot-config not found I'm assuming that this directory does not exist on my system because I didn't install Dovecot from source. Is this accurate? If so, is my only option to install Dovecot from source and then attempt the same with the Antispam plug-in? Thanks for any pointers, -Ben
