dspam: a batch of improvements:

expanded POD
cleaned up stray EOL spaces
added lots of logging, with standardized [ pass | fail | skip ] prefixes
added reject_type option
use split for parsing dspam headers
use SA note instead of parsing headers
added reject = agree option
store & fetch dspam results in a note

To get dspam into a useful state, it must be trained. The best method way to
train dspam is to feed it two large equal sized corpuses of spam and ham from
