dspam

[Geert Hendrickx]

dspam keeps its database in root-owned files in /usr/local/etc/dspam,
so you must run it as root or use suid.  

I use spamprobe, a very similar spamfilter (also based on John Grahams
ideas in A plan for spam), but it stores its database under the users
home-directory, which will give you no problems with file-permissions.  

You can easily use spamprobe with procmail or maildrop to filter your
spam, it's well-documented.
