It just has the option to quarantine anything that is classified as "not wanted" (aka: Spam, Virus, Blacklisted, Blocklisted).

Can you rephrase it? btw: It is YOU who is influencing that accuracy. If you don't re-train or you re-train wrongly then you influence in a bad way the accuracy. But if you do what you are supposed to do (fix errors by re-training) then the code in DSPAM is there to deliver one of the best accuracy you find in todays Anti-Spam tools. So all what DSPAM does is that it uses your input and calculates with algorithms the probability and confidence of a message being Spam (Spam, Blacklisted, Blocklisted, Virus) or Ham (Innocent, Whitelisted).
