Thanks Lisa. I'm actually trying to use dspam in addition to SA, hoping maybe that it picks up the spams that SA isn't. I've been spending a long time tuning SA, but it still lets a lot through, so I was going to experiment. So basically similar to what you mentioned below but in reverse.

I've spent a few days trying to get dspam to work the way I need, with no success. Here's the problem: dspam needs to run under a known system user. It has a virtual uid mechanism but that's only when classifying, virtual users don't apply to actually running the tool. Since I have courier with ldap authentication, the mailfilter file is owned by an ldap user, not a system user, and when dspam gets run by that user, it fails with an error. Even if I force dspam to be suid, that doesn't help. So I figure the only way to be able to run dspam is to run it from the filter, because that's a system user. The idea is to experiment running dspam only if the SA score is in a certain range, and hoping that might at least help pick up some of the misses.
