If you are only configuring dspam for a small percentage of your users,
this is the best method. Configure dspam to use a standalone local
delivery agent like safecat (if you already use procmail or maildrop as
an LDA, you should call dspam from those tools directly).
First, create a small script called maildir_mod in /usr/local/bin...
#!/bin/sh
VPOPDOMAINS="/home/vpopmail/domains"
if [[ "$2" = "-d" ]]; then
user=`eval echo $3 | cut -f 1 -d "@"`
domain=`eval echo $3 | cut -f 2 -d "@"`
cd $VPOPDOMAINS/"$domain"/"$user"
fi
/usr/local/bin/safecat "$1"/tmp "$1"/new 1>/dev/null
NOTE: Be sure to configure VPOPDOMAINS to point to the path for your
virtual domain directories
Now configure DSPAM:
./configure
--with-dspam-owner=vpopmail
--with-dspam-group=vchkpw
--with-delivery-agent="/usr/local/bin/maildir_mod Maildir -d %u"
# Your arguments
Next, create a .qmail file in the directory for the user with a line to
call dspam, like this:
I run (' end-line char added in this mail only):
prompt> EXTRA_ECONF="--with-dspam-owner=vpopmail
--with-dspam-group=vchkpw
--with-delivery-agent="/usr/local/bin/maildir_mod Maildir -d %u""
emerge -v dspam
The compilation failed. I think I will make a bug report...
Nevertheless, I guess dspam and qmail integration can be done on
various ways and dspam can work with a lot of other MTA (you can see
/usr/share/doc/dspam-3.8.0-r11/doc/).
In this context, maintain this package (dspam) with useflags fair
system only would be a lot of work.
Having EXTRA_ECONF is enough (but should be probably more documented).
If dspam default ebuild could just compile with extra-parameters, it
would be great.
I hope I didn't missed something.

dspam useflags improvement (was "tuning ./configure parameters via emerge")

I agree. It seems that current useflags doesn't permit enough tuning.
Today, I need to use $EXTRA_ECONF with some packages.
For example, emerge dspam package to make it run with qmail doesn't
work. Here is what the dspam manual says:
