Other enhancements include SQLite support and many significant performance enhancements for PostgreSQL. DSPAM's official release is next week, but you can download the preview release now.

    you ignorant clod!

    That message has absolutely nothing to do with DSpam. It's a failure notice from some legit mailserver responding to a faked From: address.

    The spammer/virus/whatever has picked up your email address and is faking it.

    That is all.

    Try setting up SPF, and get a cluestick.

    No matter how much bells and whistles are deployed in an antispam "solution", anything else than pre-emptive blocking of spam-spewing networks is just an automated press-delete system.

    Even though you don't SEE the spam, you STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RESSOURCES THE SPAMMERS ARE STEALING FROM YOU!!!!

    Unless ALL the spammy networks are PUNISHED FOR HARBORING SPAMMERS, spammers will always find connectivity

    We are at war, at war against spammers and their spammy-networks accomplices, and until the spammy-networks are thoroughly eradicated, there will always be ressource-stealing spammers.
