Dear Lisa: DSPAM is very good, but indeed is not an easy task to install it. It's a task not for the faint of heart. I suggest you to look for tutorials on the net. Sysadmins should be persistant and have to learn lots of things by themselves.
Do not try to install directly on your production server. Use a spare host to do all the tests beforehand. About mailling lists, they, in general, would help you in specific aspects, not covered everywhere else, but usually not step-by-step tutorials. The guys that answer questions in lists, most of the time, don't earn anything.. They know the subject and they're willing to help, but no one is obliged to. The result of being a little impolite in any mailling list is that no one will ever bother to read your e-mails. So you have to be carefull how you address the audience of mailing lists. If nobody anwered your e-mail, try to rewrite it. I'm using DSPAM with Mysql and it took long time to put it working. And I'm still learning things. Regards, Helio.

Hi people, In the last week, I have sent two e-mails to this list asking for help. My questions were not complex, as a matter of fact they are probably fairly simple (since I'm a newbie to dspam). I really want to use dspam but like anything else, when you're just getting started with something you sometimes need a little help and so far I have received absolutely no responses to my questions (actually I did get one response, one fellow answered to say he didn't know). If I can't get answers to simple questions then I might as well go back to mimedefang/spamassassin. Maybe my questions are too simple and you folks think I'm not worth bothering with? What's up with this list? Lisa Casey
