Are you sure you had it set up correctly?  I literally get less than 1% of
the spam I used to get with it.

I have. It simply lets too much SPAM through. Also I'm using the Tech
College of Computing SA setup and the sa-learn command isn't on the system.
BTW I have my cutoff set to 0.2 and I still get spam. If I didn't whitelist
my mail I'd still have to wade through a bunch of junk.

I've spent the evening wading through DSPAM and frankly I just don't get it.
I believe that I configurured and installed correctly. I finally have the
permissions and the trusted.users and untrusted.maillist-args set. I've
given it 550 messages as a corpus (all of the saved spam from SA). But all
it does is ole the spam directly into my mailbox as innocent. I'm testing
simply by bouncing spam that's already in the corpus. It should catch that,
right?

Any suggestions? SPAM is the bain of my existance and I need to find a
better way to segregate it. DSPAM has been touted as a solution, but I
haven't gotten it to work yet.
