I took a look at the dSPAM web pages. dSPAM has some good features. It can be integrated with the Exim mail router (which would make it very easy for Astaro's programmers to integrate it into a new ASG version). dSPAM is also reported to be very accurate, on the order of 99.8%.
It is too bad that this software is not included in ASG. To have to deploy a separate Linux box just for running dSPAM is a waste.
Yeah, dspam is pretty good, but probably the biggest drawback is that it does require accurate training for it to be effective. If you're not diligent about correcting misclassified emails, the accuracy quickly declines. On one account so far it is about 95% accurate, but another (which receives more mail and hence has had more training) is 99.8% accurate.
If you're looking for spam filtering out of the box, spamassassin works much better.
With a bit of thinking I think you could combine both to provide decent out of the box spam filtering along with the long term accuracy of dspam.

Is there anyone ho is running ASSP (Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy) or testing with it?
This program has a Automatic Bayesian corpus training.....
