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

Michael,

I cannot answer your questions regarding DSPAM.

However, given your performance issues with SA, I'd like to point you 
toward spamdyke (http://spamdyke.org). Spamdyke typically blocks 80%+ of 
spam before the message is even transmitted, which lightens the load on 
SA considerably since there is much less mail to scan. It's really 
pretty amazing. I highly recommend it.
