I'd be really curious to hear feedback from anyone that has used this. I'm currently using dspam and still deal with a lot of spam hitting my inbox.

I use ASSP and even without Bayesian filters (which I don't like for too many false positives) have only an occasional phishing e-mail in my numerous inboxes, even with e-mail addresses published on sites.

I've been using it on my own machine for a while and have used it for ingress/egress filtering at a small ISP (handling ~5k emails/day). Accuracy is reasonably good & it's very light. If there's something more particular you want to know ask away. ;)

To me, the most important things about anti-spam systems are the false positive / false negative numbers. This information ought to be top and center, and it isn't.

This information is merely interesting for some academic researches on some very specific messages corpus. But in the real world, I cannot efficiently evaluate the accuracy because it depends on zillions of parameters. Moreover, since rspamd uses not only statistics but a number of sources, such as DNS lists, SPF, DKIM, hashes databases and so on, it is literally impossible to be determined about preciseness.

I'm a happy dspam user (most stuff won't reach me), but looked into this one in the past.

Reasons for me not to give it a try:

- Rule based mostly (which I think of as 'SA')

- No db support, as far as I could tell. My dspam keeps everything in a postgresql db and I can easily backup/restore that with all my other stuff (dovecot/postfix virtual users, for example)

- ~Easy~ to integrate into anything. Look for 'how can I make dovecot-antispam integrate with dspam' and that's been done a thousand times (and works nicely). I haven't found a decent number of rspam resources

That said: My whole post basically says that I didn't try it (for reasons that were important to me). Their site looks interesting and in the end I guess I'd love to hear about successful dspam->rspam migrations as well.
