Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ns1.corpmailserver.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<***@mydomain.com>:
ERROR: configuration specifies 'use_bayes 0', sa-learn disabled
maildrop: error writing to mailbox.
/usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to deliver to mailbox.
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

I've never seen that come through myself.
Try running a lint on your spamassassin (as vpopmail remember) and look
in your logs for more information.

Did you try and enable the Spam box with this user? The Spam box will
require Bayes to be enabled.

Actually I should rephrase that.
The current maildrop script that is run when you have the Spambox
enabled and a spam message comes in also pipes the message to sa-learn.
Since you have Bayes turned off, this will spawn an error. You can
either turn off the Spambox, or modify the script to no longer pipe the
messages to sa-learn.

I don't know why it's showing ERROR when bayes is turned off.

Have you checked permissions on this user's mailbox?
Have you tried deleting and re-adding the user's account?
