It would be nice if it was in a config file. But dspam gets called for
every incoming email so I guess it would slow it down too much. Compiled
in options are _so_ 80's :)

The place is the quarantine. It is in the
/var/lib/dspam/x/y/username/username.mbox file  where the "x" and "y"
are the first 2 letters of the username if using the  large-scale
setting.

Other than the bums and bruises on the learning curve to set it up, it
is well worth the effort. I still get 200-400 spams a day. But they go
to the quarantine, not my inbox filters.
