Oh, so it's looking for the crm signature? Well, I guess the man-page
should have them both commented out, maybe.

Well, it's a bit complicated, but I'll leave out the SMTP part. When a
mail is delivered locally, it's passed to crm114: basically:

xfilter "/usr/local/bin/mailreaver"

  if ( /^X-CRM114-Status: UNSURE/:h )
  {
    to $HOME/Maildir/.UNSURE/
  }
  if ( /^X-CRM114-Status: SPAM/:h ) 
  {
    to $HOME/Maildir/.SPAM/
  }  


and then in dovecot, I have:
plugin {
  crm114_spam = SPAM
  crm114_unsure = UNSURE
  crm114_signature = X-CRM114-CacheID
  crm114_crm_binary = /usr/local/bin/mailreaver
}

(I compile my plugin with the option to change the pluginname)
