With your setup, does it allow pop3 clients to download less spam? Just
wondering as this would be an easier approach considering you could filter
mail marked as spam into a mail folder and train Dspam that way.
      
POP3 would work fine except for the training portion of dspam.  Even
though my setup uses IMAP people can still download the contents of
their inbox which would be clean.  Training could be done by forwarding
ham and spam to email aliases which would be pretty basic using
.qmail-alias files.
    

Would forwarding distort the message since it would appear to be coming from
the recipient (forwarder) instead of the original sender? How would dspam
handle this?

  
I imagine it would. To train spamassassin this way, you need to "bounce" or redirect the message to a spam account for it to learn from.
Sorry, I just jumped in the middle of this. Here is some more info:
