DSPAM configuration & usage? (vpopmail + simscan + maildrop + clamav)

Hi All,
First of, apologies if this is a silly question, but I am VERY VERY confused with regards to DSPAM configuration/usage.I am mostly used to SpamAssassin, and have configured it many times before, with the result of it working more or less straight out of the box. However, SA is no longer a viable option due to its poor performance so I switched to DSPAM.
I have compiled, installed and configured DSPAM on my server, and can say it is executed - but spam is still coming in and it looks like DSPAM is not blocking any spam at all.I am absolutely convinced I have missed something in the configuration, somewhere, most likely (in my humble opinion) due to its very poor documentation. I have not found an adequate guide, listing clearly all the steps required to get it to work, i.e. to classify and block spam.
Can anyone help please? I have included a log excerpt showing simscan/dspam functionality.I have read the documentation, but I am still none the wiser as to the CORRECT/PROPER method of integrating DSPAM with vpopmail + maildrop.
Additional questions:1. Does DSPAM identify spam at all upon first time installation?2. Does DSPAM need aliases to classify spam?
Please help.
Thanks,Michael.
