Sorry but I don't get your point. I was under the impression that the OP wanted 
to have a unique and consistent way to flag a message as spam with DSPAM. The 
purpose of the OP is to have a way to test that DSPAM works correctly (like 
SpamAssassin offers with GTUBE (the Generic Test for Unsolicited Bulk Email) 
string "XJS*C4JDBQADN1.NSBN3*2IDNEN*GTUBE-STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL*C.34X").

I am under the impression that the OP does not want to substitute an AV with 
DSPAM. Correct me if I am wrong.

Sure it is "flogging a dead horse" if the plan of the OP is to 
substitute/replace an AV with DSPAM. That would be insane.
