[dspam-users] DSPAM GROUP SETUPS

hi all

our system qmailtoaster - vpopmail, clam, chkuser
we dont wish to use webui of dspam

we are new to dspam so please guide us as if for a newbie

we have enabled dspam for a single domain : mydomain.com using the following in the .qmail-default file
| /etc/dspam/bin/dspam --deliver=innocent --user $EXT@$USER --debug --mode=teft --feature=chained,noise,whitelist --stdout -p -m| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox

we train it when it makes mistake using two mailboxes spam@mydomain.com and notspam@mydomain.com

.qmail-spam
open file enter this statement in it
|/etc/dspam/bin/dspam --user $NEWSENDER --debug --mode=teft --class=spam --source=error

.qmail-notspam
|/etc/dspam/bin/dspam --user $NEWSENDER --debug --mode=teft --class=innocent --source=error --stdout

We wish to further extend the capability of dspam by using groups

We have read the README.TXT file and we are a bit confused.

from reading many messages we understand that dspam can be trained based on spam messages and good messages and training should be done in a balanced manner.

pl guide us whether this would be the correct approach

1) we have a huge collection of spam messages -- over 150 thousand messages stored in a single email id let us say : globalspam@mydomain.com

Using the above we wish "innoculate" all the email users -- old and new on our system

we can create a globaluser database (containing only spam) called globalspamdb and process emails by adding this to the .qmail-globalspam file
|/path/to/dspam --process --class=spam --source=inoculation --user globalspam

so that all spam from globalspam@mydomain.com is processed

globalspamdb:innoculation:globalspam

Will this work in creating a default spam database for all users on the entire server

And then how do we tell dspam that all users (new and old) shud be checked against this ?

2) we can tap all incoming emails for all our users using qmail tap, segregate the spam from them so that we have good collection of legitimate emails --around 15 thousand messages stored in a single mail id say goodmail@mydomain.com

now using the above information please advise us as we are a total newbie as to what steps to take
