Summary: dspam_stats creating non-existent users
Initial Comment:
Hi!
when i'm using dspam_stats for non-existent users it will create the user...
for example invoking "dspam_stats -H xyzuser"
ls -la /var/spool/dspam/data/local/xyzuser
total 2316
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 2012-06-25 15:04 ./
drwxr-x--- 12 root root 4096 2012-06-25 15:04 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2359688 2012-06-25 15:04 xyzuser.css
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2012-06-25 15:04 xyzuser.lock

This is very strange. I run over here the GIT version and I can not make my
DSPAM to produce the same result as you have:
theia ~ # ls -lah /var/spool/dspam/data/localdomain/testuser
ls: cannot access /var/spool/dspam/data/localdomain/testuser: No such file
or directory
theia ~ # dspam_stats -H testuser@localdomain
testuser@localdomain:

This does not matter. Using pipes or daemon mode both result in using
libdspam (aka: same logic).

Yes if it is not documented. But in the case of DSPAM it is a documented
behaviour.
So the problem you have is either configuration problem (this is still my
suspicion) or the fact that you run that old 3.6.8 version. You however
ruled out that it is configuration so the only left option is to test a
more recent version of DSPAM. Do you have the possibility to do a test with
3.10.2?

I did the changes, and dspam_stats is still adding new users.
Have to say that I'm not running dspam in daemon mode using pipes instead.
IMHO creating users is a untypical action for a "stats program" regardless
of the opt setting.

Probably you have instructed DSPAM to automatically create users as soon as
DSPAM is processing messages/tasks for a user.
If you set/change in dspam.conf:
Preference "optIn=off"
Preference "optOut=on"
Opt in
Change preferences for default:
dspam_admin change preference default optIn off
dspam_admin change preference default optOut on
Restart DSPAM daemon and retry to list statistics for a non existing user:
dspam_stats -H ishouldnotexist
If you still get a user created then it is a bug. If you don't get the user
created then please take the time and read the DSPAM documentation
regarding user handling in DSPAM.
