Yes. The README implies that all that is necessary without virtual users is
that the user has an account on the system. It will then attempt to lookup
the user on the system with the part of the email address before the '@'
sign. However, it doesn't really do that. DSPAM was still trying to perform
the lookup on the whole email address. I found a couple of other instances
of this same question on the list, but none of them really explained the
situation well and just steered users towards using --enable-virtual-users.
So I'm taking another stab at getting a good explanation before attempting to
file a bug. :-)
