I guess dspam is harder to setup and understand than sa, but it does pay off a bit later imho. It also has a fair bit of problems right now, I have two custom patches applied for this setup to work. There is hope though, that the development of dspam will soon go on.


I have used dspam, bogofilter, spamassassin and have written my own as well which I'm using at the moment.

bogofilter is extremely fast and accurate but it's not well designed for mail delivery other than procmail, maildrop. You can do it, but it's not ideal.

spamassassin works well but their Bayesian engine doesn't seem that great -- prone to poisoning. Definitely slower than bogofilter and not any better at performance. There's a lot of maintenance to spamassassin between different rules you have to upgrade and tune.

dspam is very accurate. It's slow. And I've personally tracked through the logs loss of many emails including some that cost me $700. That's real money and a real problem. It took me about a month to get everything related to dspam working.

I'd love to tell everyone mine is so uber wonderful the whole world should be using it, but who am I kidding. I'm one perl writing dude. I consider it the best of each of the former but it's not "done". Wish me luck!
