Just looking for a quick opinion - who likes DSPAM?


Me.

I switched ca. 9 months ago when SpamAssassin failed to detect more and more spam (had around 5-10 false negatives in a week with ca. 3500 mails/week). DSPAM is far better (2-3 false negatives) and produces less false positives especially for unknown senders/uncommon subjects. DSPAM classified messages as ham which I would have deleted without further notice because they look so spammy but in reality they WERE ham.

DSPAM needed quite a big training corpus for me (10000 ham/spam mails) and you should test it thoroughly as it rewrites mails (signature in the body) and imho these routines could be implemented more conservatively/carefully. For example in 3.4 it destroyed subjects with umlauts and S/MIME signed messages. While the first bug was fixed in 3.4, S/MIME signed message were not (at least until 3.4.7, don't know newer versions).

Can it be made to not modify the message at all or to just add one header line with a score? I just want to use it to get a second opinion and then process the scroe with Spamassassin.
