To configure DSPAM we need to edit the default configuration file dspam.conf in /usr/local/etc/ I’m only showing you the changes i made to the default settings otherwise it would be a very long list of settings.

StorageDriver /usr/local/lib/dspam/libmysql_drv.dylib

I’ve decided, until I get the webgui or some other solution working, every email will be delivered. Spam email will be tagged in the subject with [SPAM] which you can filter out with your email client to be put into the Trash, Junk or a separate directory.

Next we need to administer the proper rights to the executable, please execute the following command:

sudo chmod o+x /usr/local/bin/dspam
