Well, I set up Dspam the other day, on a new server, and started
forwarding my address through to the new server. Within 100 emails (I
marked 2 as spam, telling dspam to retrain on them), it had started
correctly filtering the spam. It's now had almost 700 emails through
it in the last week, and it's performing better than gmail was! Sure,
a few false hits get through, but it's only getting better!

Well as they have empty mailboxes, you can't really train ;-)

I personally would set it up with some sort of global group's, so they
all benefit from each others training. i.e. after a few users have
marked the same email as spam, dspam's going to mark it as spam for
anyone else who gets it ;-)
