No, I don't know which is the best. But found some references to use OSB or
SBPH.

See my question to tokinizer, I'll switch it and after this answer. I do it
an remove all training data.

But which is the best for german user, where one user receive english
newsletter/mailinglist. All I've tested result in bad accurance, I hate
false negatives is the worst thing a spamfilter can do, see gmx .. you must
check all your spams daily to found the newsletter :(. If false negative on
a low level then the user check quarantine once a week/month and all its
okay.

Wasn't a real question (I sagte doch das ich kein englisch schreiben kann
:(). More a feature why use dspam, because the ways to do this, work
out-of-the box :)
Okay setup web-gui is more a ..., but have see that a replacement is in
