I've just started researching dspam and am looking for ways to integrate 
it into our mail gateway (FreeBSD 5.x box running Postfix, Amavisd-new, 
SpamAssassing w/Pyzor and DCC, and ClamAV).  The gateway receives mail 
for 15 domains and roughly 5000 accounts spread across those domains.  
Handles about 250,000 messages per month, with maybe 35,000 of those 
being legit.

I'll admit, I've only just begun reading through the docs online and 
just picked up the Ending Spam book authored by the coder behind dspam, 
so I haven't touched a lot of the info that's out there.

But, any pointers toward good documentation or example configs would be 
greatly appreciated.
