I'm probably looking in the wrong direction, but whilst dspam does indeed do a fantastic job on our email too, it dies perhaps once per day leaving a queue to build up. (Hence the recent thread about using cron to restart mail server.) My server has to handle about 4000 emails/hr, and dspam probably isn't the bottleneck, but it's the bit that's dying, without logging anything to debug it.
Ahhh - as an aside to that - I'm going to be looking in to adding dspam support to exim4's acl handler (there's already SA support in the form of the spam condition, but SA definately won't run on my poor little vm!) - I appear to currently handle at most 120 mails an hour (which, technically I suppose, is only 60 mails an hour, because most of those hit dspam which then reinjects it in to exim), but I don't use the dspam daemon... IME dspam is light enough that it's probably as quick using dspam directly as using the daemon...
Anyways - that's my next proper project, getting dspam support in to the acl stage of exim - should be, err, fun ;)
