That's pretty close to my experience a couple years ago, except that
I also found that the dspam version I was using completely wedged on
Berkeley DB files, which it claimed to support, and that before some
magic threshold I never reached, it was actually reducing the net
accuracy of my scoring.
I was big on the idea of dspam, but the practice turned out to be a
bit disappointing. I'm sure it's improved since, but I have not found
time to go back to it.
