Hi Christoph, I appreciate your correction. Indeed, according to the docs, there is message demultiplexing. That is a good thing. I should however correct the statement regarding the aliases processing. DSPAM has a rather new feature called External User Lookup. That will allow you to look up users alias, within DSPAM, so that every email address associated to a single individual can be mapped into a single DSPAM UID. Hope that information is of use to you.
