I very much second that.

DSpam works very well as a stand-alone program, but it the documentation
treats it as a not-so-interesting corner case, so it is not easy to set it
up that way. Also, when you call dspamc from procmail, you need to use
several counter-intuitive switches like `--process --deliver=innocent,spam
--user=$USER' and so on.

I have a couple of patches in my queue, I will send them soon.

Also, I am very glad that the project is alive again and I hope I will find
some time to improve the stand-alone usage.

                                Have a nice fortnight
