Package: dspam Version: 3.6.8-4 Severity: important
Hello, I am trying to get dspam to work with KMail according to this tutorial: http://www.kde.nl/doc/kmail-dspam/ I let http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/ translate it to english for me. Instead of compiling my own dspam I decided to use the latest debian package. First I fixed lots of permissions problems: Although dspam executable is set gid like this deepdance:~> ls -l /usr/bin/dspam -rwxr-sr-x 1 dspam dspam 92196 2006-10-19 22:54 /usr/bin/dspam It can't read /etc/dspam/dspam.config unless I do chmod a+r on it. brk(0) = 0x805f000 brk(0x8080000) = 0x8080000 umask(06) = 022 open("/etc/dspam/dspam.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) time([1161418817]) = 1161418817 It also cannot write to /var/spool/dspam unless I do chmod a+rwx on it. I tried using the hash driver and the sqlite driver but I couldn't get dspam to train a single message. I did dspam_stats -H martin and fixed permissions again. Then I also created missing directories mkdir -p /var/spool/dspam/opt-in/local/martin.dspam chmod -R a+rwx /var/spool/dspam/opt-in/ mkdir -p /var/spool/dspam/opt-out/local/martin.dspam chmod -R a+rwx /var/spool/dspam/opt-out/ Then I even copied a prefs file so fix the last error in strace: cp -a /etc/dspam/default.prefs /var/spool/dspam/data/local/martin/martin.prefs I tried to train dspam, but it didnt work: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- deepdance:/var/spool/dspam> dspam_train martin /home/martin/Mail/.trash.directory/Spam/cur /home/martin/Mail/Lichtvoll/cur Taking Snapshot... martin TP: 0 TN: 0 FP: 0 FN: 0 SC: 0 NC: 0 Training /home/martin/Mail/Lichtvoll/cur / /home/martin/Mail/.trash.directory/Spam/cur corpora...

I also tried without strace. Still I get: deepdance:/var/spool/dspam> dspam_stats -H martin martin: TP True Positives: 0 TN True Negatives: 0 FP False Positives: 0 FN False Negatives: 0 SC Spam Corpusfed: 0 NC Nonspam Corpusfed: 0 TL Training Left: 2500 SHR Spam Hit Rate 100.00% HSR Ham Strike Rate: 100.00% OCA Overall Accuracy: 100.00% Then I just gave up for now. As Mark Whitis I did not manage to find out on how to make use of that package: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=366478 One may think that it doesn't make sense to try to use dspam via KMail, but there even is a tutorial indicating that it does work and before I deploy it on a server I want to test it locally (replacing my KMail bogofilter setup i which is at its end of scalability). I will now compile my own dspam as instructed in the tutorial and look whether it works better.
