I currently have 2 users testing it. They are at both extreme ends of mail demands. My account gets about 1000 emails a day of which about 25-30% are spam. The other account gets about 100 emails a day of which about 90% are spam. So far, dspam is quarantining about 1/3rd of the spam I receive. Is basically the same as Apple's mail filtering. My mail is being sent to both. However, the storage of the data used by dspam is a bit overwhealming. The storage is at 250 MB for me and 20 MB for the other account. I have cut way down the purge retention intervals which appears to help somewhat but not enough. I have thousands of users and at 250 MB per user (it would probably be a bit below that) its just not practical. How do other users of dspam deal with this issue? Is there some setting I have wrong (or at least not set most efficently)?
