Debian is still using v3.6.8 so I'm going to try and build dspam myself and seeing 3.8.0 is 11 months old I am even silly or bold enough to try a CVS checkout.
I'd like to store the users database in their homedir rather than the (Debian) default /var/spool/dspam and this option looks like it might do that, but this is confusing... DSPAM will check for a .dspam|.nodspam file DSPAM will also store each user's data in ~/.dspam The first one seems to indicate a (empty?) file whereas the second reference seems to indicate a folder. They both have the same name and both in the "user's home directory" so I must not be understanding this correctly. Anyone care to clarify please ? From README: --enable-homedir When enabled, instead of checking for $HOME/$USER/opt-in/ $USER[.dspam|.nodspam], DSPAM will check for a .dspam|.nodspam file in the user's home directory. DSPAM will also store each user's data in ~/.dspam when this option is enabled. Because of this, DSPAM will automatically install and run setuid root so that it can read each user's home directory. --markc
