How to Disable DSPAM

Post by amnesia »

Is there an option to completely disable DSPAM?
I've been monitoring it over a lot of emails, and I find it's accuracy is roughly 0%.  I get spam that is tagged BAYES_999, tagged by DCC, tagged by Razor/Pyzor, and yet DSPAM is highly confident it is "innocent".  Conversely I get legitimate emails and newsletters that pass all other tests and DSPAM thinks they are spam.  I think it might be the most inaccurate anti-spam program I've ever seen.  I really don't understand why it's included.  I'd rather just avoid the extra processing time and disable it, but I don't see an option to do so.

Hi amnesia, in 8.0.9 just set amavis_dspam_enabled to false using zmlocalconfig.

Is there a way to do this in 8.5.1? That seems to be a null key, and I don't see anything with DSPAM in the LDAP variable list.
