Yep, a user must involve in this. At least with DSpam.

For DSpam to work as expected MUST be configured user-by-user

Your example of TigerDirect is perfect.

Thinking a little about it, should we uninstall a properly configured,
whole-system antispam spamassassin?

I think SA (or another whole server spam killer) must be installed, with a
very prudent configuration (the default toaster conf is perfect), to help
avoid unwanted bulk traffic.

Anyway bandwith is a scarce resource.
