I'm sorry but I'm not sure what "tokenizer" means...

 # grep -i token /etc/dspam/dspam.conf
 #    naive       Naive-Bayesian (All Tokens)
 PurgeNeutral    90 # Tokens with neutralish probabilities
 PurgeUnused     90 # Unused tokens
 PurgeHapaxes    30 # Tokens with less than 5 hits (hapaxes)
 PurgeHits1S     15 # Tokens with only 1 spam hit
 PurgeHits1I     15 # Tokens with only 1 innocent hit

Unfortunately all debian distributions (stable, testing and
even unstable) all use 3.6.8. That's not looking good going
forward so I will have to consider maintaining my own package
if I want to roll this out to all my servers (and I do).

Simply keeping all my users mail related data in one area
so setup and management scripts require minimum alteration
to work with Dspam. All Bogofilter and Spamassassin data
is in the same homedir so if Dspam databases and log files
are also in the same area then modifying scripts is safer
and backup routines do not have to change. Also, adding
Dspam to my own web based control panel becomes possible.

I can't find that variable in dspam.conf, is it part of 3.8 ?
The nearest I can see is the typical (for debian anyway)...

 Home /var/spool/dspam

So is it likely that I would have to hack the dspam code to
provide a per user "Home" setting ?

Thank you, totally appreciate your feedback.
