Cpanel support?
by dkaufman1 - Dec 6th 2006 00:27:26
I spent some time on the nuclearelephant site, reading the FAQ and the
Readme, as well as exploring.
I had a question that I could not find answered and didn't see any forums,
maybe I missed them.
As your FAQ noted, SA is out of date and being circumvented to an alarming
degree. My server is a shared server running the Cpanel suite and I was
looking for an "installation for dummies" type checklist.
(Sorry I am what I am.)
I can FTP the files up and create a MySQL database with users and assign
permissions, but I am a little lost at a lot of the other cmd line
functions. Does a step by step install for this type of environment
exist?
Thanks for your patience.

Can't make heads or tails
by Matthew - Jan 30th 2006 21:06:59
The documentation for dspam is almost non-existant. How frustrating. I had
to make sense of things from the usergroups.

Hi! Have you checked the doc/ directory, which is full of
documentation for various types of integration, or the very
elaborate README? How about the online FAQ, or the many
links to HOWTOs on the website?

3.1.2 is a recommended upgrade, especially with pgsql
by MDaniel - Sep 8th 2004 18:14:04
I have upgraded to every 3.1.x release, and am by far the happiest with
3.1.2. They fixed a bunch of stuff, especially concerning the postgresql
backend.
My false positive rate has plumetted.

In production, stellar performance
by Doug Bostrom - Jan 24th 2004 20:29:52
We've been using DSPAM at a small ISP for the past 4 months and it's
performing admirably. Not only is DSPAM eerily accurate at eliminating
spam while avoiding false positives, but the training process is easy
enough for the archetypal "grandma".
Read documentation on permissions very carefully. As with any statistical
despamming method, be prepared with decent spam and nonspam corpus
material to feed DSPAM on setup if you want instant results.

Using on production server
by dethro - Jun 11th 2003 03:20:36
Dspam is working great for me. I have about 12 users, it works very well
for a small set like this. I tried spamassassin also, but found too many
exceptions had to be made for each user to avoid false positives.
Dspam is very new, it should get even better. I think the dspam_corpus
tool needs some work, it doesn't work as smoothly as you'd think it would.
In the docs there needs to be more examples of how to incorporate Dspam
into your MTA. Only Sendmail and Exim are shown, and only one example of
each. There needs to be many more MTA examples.

Looks promising

I'm evaluating this product... looks very
promising to me.
All the best, hopefully you will attract some
like-minded developers.

I agree - we've been using Spamassassin for about 18 months now, and while
it's extremely good, it's not really set up to allow users (non-technical
ones) to train their databases very easily. This is mainly becase it
requires the spam/ham to be present on the mail server you're training. We
use POP3, which effectivly makes this impossible. The DSPAM model of
allowing users simply to forward spam to the engine is simplicity itself.
Also, using Spamassassin we've come to realise that unless filters are
heavily customised to the individual user, the number of false positives
is just too high to use conventional heuristic filters. And setting the
spam score higher just means more spam gets through - and usually just the
worst kind.
Bayesian is the way to go we think. We're going to have a very good look
at DSPAM.
