Yeh, I know. I will hopefully rewrite the readme and add some docs on
the next release.

No problem here. The first question is: do you have your mail users in a
mysql database or they are in the system ?
If they are in the system use dspam_2mysql to generate the table for
dpsam from the passwd file, and use dspam_genaliases to generate the
spam aliases for each user to forward the spam to.
As a general note, until you're convince the hole system works ok
compile dpam with verbose_debug. As currently the port doesn't offer
that, just add:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-debug \
--enable-verbose-debug
just above:
.if defined(WITH_MYSQL)
Be aware that this will produce * a lot * of noise on a busy system (It
will log a copy of each mail in /usr/local/etc/dspam/dspam.messages, in
dspam.debug it will log how it applies the algorithms ans some sql debug
info in dspam.messages and the sql queries and results in sql.errors)
And when I say a lot I mean about 100MB for about 10.000 mails.. Also I
would suggest turning off mysql query log if it's on (I nicely run out
of space, for the same amount of messages it eats up about 500MB).
Make an test user so that you don't have all your mails passed to dspam
until it working ok.

You can use dspam between your MTA and LDA for local delivery. Or do a
more complex setup and re-inject the mail into the MTA.
Give me some more details, please.
