           Summary: The set of characters allowed in the virtual username
                    restriction will not possible to use vpopmails hashing
                    directory function.
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.0.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hfball@mail.ru


For example I have large mail system with "spamassassin`s config per domain". 
Domains are in "/vhome/domains/". Spamassassin preferences are saved 
under "/vhome/domains/%u/.spamassassin/", where %u - domain name. Spamd uses "-
-virtual-config-dir=/vhome/domains/%u/.spamassassin/" options, spamc running 
like "spamc -u test.com". 
It is all Ok, but vpopmail does directory hashing because some filesystems 
(ext2/3, UFS without DIR_HASH, etc) will slow to a crawl with large 
directories. When the number of domains is high then vpopmail creates new 
domains under "/vhome/domains/0/", "./1/", "./2/" and etc. An now I can not 
specify spamd where preferences are saved, because I can not use "/" symbol 
and "spamc -u 1/test.com". The set of characters allowed in the virtual 
username for spamd are restricted to: A-Z a-z 0-9 - + _ . , @ =
It is possible to allow "/" character to use in username? Or maybe create new 
escape, such as %p for specifying preferences paths?

Sorry, now I see that spamd already use "vuserinfo -d userid@somedomain.net" 
to properly determine the user's directory. I think is problem only with the 
autowhilists path, but it is not priority task.
