I was not suggesting that you post to a Spanish speaking list.  I was
asking that you not hijack the thread.  Please see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_hijacking

Specifically, the section called "Thread Hijacking on a mailing list or
newsgroup"

If you look at the thread index for the mailing list, your message
appears to be a follow-up to a message with the subject "Re: need for
something like samhain with dialup?".  This probably happened because,
as described in the Wikipedia article, you replied to a message and then
simply changed the subject line.  It's just list ettiquette.

That discussion appears to be something different.  He wrote a Perl
script which emails the admin of the mail server a quota report and he
is having trouble with it.

I also use Courier, but not with quotas.  I'd start with searching the
various Courier configuration files.  If that does not pan out, then try
a Courier mailing list or IRC channel.
