Hi Nathanael, I run DSpam as a unprivileged user on a machine managed by our systems group. There is no real restriction that way.
I use fetchmail to get mail from our IMAP server, I let fetchmail deliver via procmail, and I let procmail call dspam as a simple filter. Then I read my filtered and sorted mail with mutt. All these bits of software are compiled in my home directory and none of them need root privileges for running. Cheers, K~ On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 09:39:17AM -0600, Nathanael D.
