configuration. if anyone has tips on installing it please do post a howto on

I was really excited about trying DSPAM, but I had the same result as
you - it just couldn't tag spam. I scoured the manuals and mailing
lists, learned all about the configuration system, but DSPAM just
couldn't be anywhere near as accurate as Spamassassin. Spamassassin is a
bit slower to run, but it just simply does a better job. I, too, liked
the CGI interface, but if it's an interface to a failing spam filter,
what's the point?
As far as I know about DSPAM (anybody correct me if I'm wrong), you
must train it in order to begin detecting spam. I have never
configured it, but I'm using it, and it provides two special addresses
per user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Whenever you receive spam not detected by DSPAM you must forward it to
the first address. Whenever DSPAM incorrectly tags a mail as SPAM you
must forward it to the second address (false positive). The more you
train it, the more accurate it gets.
HTH, best regards
Jose
