dspam works great for me most of the time but I've had a long-standing question 
that I haven't been able to figure out.

In dspam.conf these two Preferences I changed from defaults don't seem to 
stick. Others that are changed from defaults are fine.

Preference "spamSubject="               # { string } -> default:[SPAM]
Preference "signatureLocation=headers"  # { message | headers } -> 
default:message

After relaunching the dspam daemon these two revert back to defaults after some 
period of time--minutes or days.

To try to get around this I set prefs using dspam_admin for default:

mail# dspam_admin li pref default
signatureLocation=headers
spamSubject=

This seems to force spamSubject and signatureLocation settings to be retained 
but causes this pair of lines in dspam output. One pair when email is delivered 
and two pair if the email is moved to or from the Junk mailbox. I'm using the 
antispam plugin with dovecot.

'signatureLocation'
Aug  8 15:19:52 mail dspam[95996]: Ignoring disallowed preference 'spamSubject'

If I recompile with debug I see this:

Any suggestions? The "Ignoring disallowed" lines don't bother me too much, but 
I think it means maybe I've got something configured incorrectly.
