Eric, many belated thanks for this detailed write-up. Using this, plus the John M. Simpson page that you pointed to, I was able to get dspam installed and running on my server. I'm now testing it with a single user, and if it works well, then I'll roll it out to the others. I'll be curious to see how well dspam performs on a lot of the spam that I see, which is filled with hashbuster text intended precisely to defeat statistical filters like dspam. Two minor corrections to the very helpful instructions that you published. First, I think step 4 should come before step 3 (so that you have access to the dspam setup scripts when you configure your MySQL). Second in step 7, it should be 'service dspam start' rather than 'service start dspam'. I don't know if it's worth adding this stuff to the wiki yet, because I don't know how Eric will choose to support dspam in QMT. When it does get added to the wiki, it would be worth including some of the configuration information from JMS's page, as that's crucial to getting dspam working properly. (I almost got stuck with dspam failing to start because it was still running in the default mode - as an adjunct to a mail server - rather than as a client/server-style filtering system, and was throwing an error when it tried to access a port).
