But I've trained with over 5000 messages on both negative and positive...
I've just ran dspam with --class=spam --source=corpus, and afterwards, I
still get the message as innocent.

Have you used the parameter --source=corpus for dspam?
After some feeding it will certainly classify as spam, but in the
process you may bias your token database in an unwanted way.
Yep, and also keep in mind the number of messages you have trained
dspam with. Generally a couple thousand are required before dspam
really starts getting good.
