That answers Roman's question, but raises another one for me.  I suppose that 
I should make it a separate thread.

I am running Mandriva 2009 Spring on a home desktop.  I am using the small-
scale setup described at  http://splodge.fluff.org/docs/single-user-dspam.  The 
author writes: "I'm always *very* wary of BerkeleyDB," giving reasons.  I 
thought that he was talking about the hash backend.  His description is out of 
date in other ways as well.  Some switches he mentions are now in dspam.conf.  
I am running dspam with the hash backend, because my email turnover is very 
light.  Another reason was that as an ordinary user, I did not have access to 
mysql.sock, but I have been told how to overcome that.

Perhaps I could update that HOWTO for the coming 3.9.0 release.

Doug.
