Hey all,

i have a few questions about the dspam config file that im hoping that you all
could lend a hand either explaing, telling me if you all use it, and if it's a
good idea to go that way or not.

1) #DataSource      document
How many of you use this?  with the command as it is now...  it would look like
dspam is only going to look at the headers and try and determine if the mail is
spam there.  Should it not look at the entire email?

2)# Virus Checking: If you are running clamd, DSPAM can perform stream-based
# virus checking using TCP. Uncomment the values below to enable virus
# checking.
#
# ClamAVResponse: reject (reject or drop the message with a permanent failure)
#                 accept (accept the message and quietly drop the message)
#                 spam   (treat as spam and quarantine/tag/whatever)
#
#ClamAVPort     3310
#ClamAVHost     127.0.0.1
#ClamAVResponse accept

Does anyone use dspam to hand the message off to clamav?   Currently i use
qmail-scanner-queue to do this, and then the .qmail-default file hands the
message off to dspam.  Qmail-scanner-queue is something I would like to get rid
of if i could...   for there are lots of reports of slower processing time when
using this script.  I figure if dspam will hand it off to clamav...  then there
goes the need for qmail-scanner-queue.

3)#ParseToHeaders on
#ChangeModeOnParse on
#ChangeUserOnParse on

I have read the explanation about this and i kind of understand it.  I suppose
this gives the options to have one folder (in my case..  1 imap folder) where
all users store there spam emails, then have a script come along and force all
that email back to dspam and delete them.  Kinda simple..  but how do you all
feed miss classed spam back into the system?   does anyone use the options
above?



i guess that will do it for now...   im sure i will have more questions as time
goes on.
