Before we start there are some preliminaries to take care of. DSPAM needs a user account to run, but instead of creating a full user account using the preference pane we will create a simple user via the Terminal:
sudo niutil -create / /users/dspam sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dspam uid 101 sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dspam gid 101 sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dspam shell "/usr/bin/false" sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dspam home "/usr/local/var/dspam" sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dspam passwd "*"
Compiling DSPAM
Get the source code from the DSPAM site (I’ve tested it with 3.6.8) and extract the archive and you can start compiling:
./configure --enable-daemon \ --with-storage-driver=mysql_drv \ --with-mysql-includes=/usr/local/mysql/include \ --with-mysql-libraries=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql \ --enable-preferences-extension \ --with-dspam-home-owner=dspam \ --with-dspam-home-group=postdrop \ --with-dspam-home=/usr/local/var/dspam \ --enable-long-usernames \ --with-dspam-group=postdrop \ --enable-mysql4-initialization \ --enable-domain-scale \ --enable-virtual-users \ --enable-debug \ --enable-verbose-debug
This configure, if everything went allright, can be followed by:
make sudo make install
and you are done with this step, next step: setting up the storage database

Might be an oversite- –with-dspam-mode=dspam should be –with-dspam-mode=2510 think you meant –with-dspam-owner=dspam

@Keenick: You are correct, the option has been removed, as 2510 is the default value ! Thanks….
