In my opinion, amavisd-new does not need DSPAM support.  As of 3.4.X or
3.6.X (I forget which) DSPAM can run in daemon mode as a LMTP 
content-filter.  I use amavisd-new for banned files and A/V, then I have
amavisd-new reinject the mail to Postfix which reinjects to DSPAM via 
LMTP.  Problem solved.  I suppose it could be cleaner if amavisd-new
could support reinjecting to a LMTP content-filter, but the performance
is fine.

It looks like this:

postfix->amavisd-new->postfix->dspam lmtp daemon->postfix->mailstore

Mark, why don't you just drop DSPAM support (and maybe add LMTP 
reinjection like $forward_method = 'lmtp:[127.0.0.1]:24')?  

I see no benefit of calling DSPAM in amavisd-new.
