FOUND IT !!
First I had to find the log file: /var/log/mail.log
Then it was soooooo easy: Unable to open file for reading: /etc/dspam/
dspam.conf: Permission denied
# chmod g+r /etc/dspam/dspam.conf
# chown root:dspam /etc/dspam/dspam.conf
That's it !
Thanks.

I know it must be very simple to solve, but I have been trying for
days, pulling my hair off.
When running the following from the command line (debian etch,
dspam 3.6.8-5), it works sudo 'root' but not 'dspam' :
THIS PRODUCES NO OUTPUT, NADA, NIET (/var/log/dspam/dspam.debug =
nada)
cat test.mail | sudo -u dspam /usr/bin/dspam --user
gaspard.tetivps.net --debug
THIS WORKS FINE
cat test.mail | sudo -u root /usr/bin/dspam --user
gaspard.tetivps.net --debug
why ??
Many thanks for your help.
Have a look at the permissions on your dspam binary; Jonathan
doesn't (and most security people, of which I'm one) don't like
suid/sgid perms, but I've run dspam g+s for a l o n g time
without being attached by Martians:
1468 [root:tru.leerlingen] /usr/lib # l /usr/bin/dspam
-r-x--s--- 1 root root 371906 Mar 20 09:59 /usr/bin/dspam
