dovecot - Jul 2011 - Dovecot2 Antispam plugin questions

Tried to find some doc on this (other than the c code), couldn't, so,
asking. I do almost every programming language, except C!

When using DSPAM backend with this tool, will the plugin send ONLY the signature
and not the entire message to dspam for retraining? Concerned about very large
emails. If this is the case, I'd rather do this than use say the mailtrain
backend which I presume would send the entire message.?

Having some permission problems though with the dspam binary since regular users
can't execute dspam the way it is currently set up. Any security reason to
not allow regular users to run the binary?
?

I use the dspam plugin on my install: it only sends the signature.

Cool, so, this is efficient then though not instant of course.?

I had to change permissions of the dspam binary to 4511. Is that what you had to
do? Otherwise, the logged in user couldn't run dspam.
