This e-mail is a bit old, but I have a couple of comments about this:

I've also found this problem in my installations (DSPAM 3.4.9). I
guess that dspam.cgi could be easily modified for it to parse
correctly the log file. I'll have a look if I find some time :)

Meanwhile, attached to this mail is a little perl script that fixes
the system.log so dspam.cgi shows the right stats.

Usage:

$ ./dspam-fix-logs.pl < system.log > new-system.log

Hope it helps.
