To find out where the directory 'local' comes from, I deleted it every day 
since my first message here about the matter. "ls -l" showed me that "local" 
is created every morning at 6:25, that is exactly the time when my daily cron 
jobs are started. So, "local" is obviously created by the following cron job:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Clean up the hash / db4 databases

DSPAMCONF=/etc/dspam/dspam.conf

if egrep -q "^StorageDriver.*(hash|db4)_drv.so" $DSPAMCONF; then
  if [ -x /usr/bin/dspam_clean ]; then
    /usr/bin/dspam_clean -s -p >/dev/null
  fi
fi

exit 0


Why does dspam_clean create a new directory "local"?

Regards
  Christoph
