Hi Gordon You are 100% right when you said it was the mysql settings, i was using the syntax with the files you provided while i was running it on debian. now my mail boxes are getting created at system level am going to work now on the pop auth using courier and one more thing i notice mailbox quota is not implemented at user level only at domain level!!! Thanks a lot for your time and i will be counting on you for your continued support.

by Gordon Dickens 02 Jan '10

Hello everybody, A bug has been discovered within the SpamAssassin rules sets that will mark messages sent in the year 2010 (as of yesterday) and beyond with a higher spam score than expected. This bug causes all mail to receive an extra 3.4 SpamAssassin points and can result in legitimate mail being flagged as spam. This bug has been fixed by the SpamAssasin folks and you can update your installation simply by running sa-update. For a more detailed explanation and information on resolving this problem see:: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269 FYI, Gordon
