As far as I know about DSPAM (anybody correct me if I'm wrong), you
must train it in order to begin detecting spam. I have never
configured it, but I'm using it, and it provides two special addresses
per user: spam-user@××××××××××.com and fp-user@××××××××××.com.
Whenever you receive spam not detected by DSPAM you must forward it to
the first address. Whenever DSPAM incorrectly tags a mail as SPAM you
must forward it to the second address (false positive). The more you
train it, the more accurate it gets.

HTH, best regards
Jose
