[Bug 4402] New: Virtual user support case sensitivity

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4402

           Summary: Virtual user support case sensitivity
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.0.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: josh@statewidesoftware.com


I recently switched to using virtual user support in SpamAssassin. Currently, 
my users are recognized as different users depending on case (jsmith, JSMITH). 
This results in redundant bayes_seen, etc. databases in the user directory. Is 
this supposed to be the job of the calling program to lowercase all usernames 
or would it be a desired feature for SA to normalize case? I have the patch to 
add the option if it is desired.

If your email system uses case insensitive usernames it IS the job of the
calling application to standardize the username it passes to SpamAssassin.

Having SpamAssassin assume all usernames should be lower case breaks things on
systems which do have case senstive users.
