Is dspam that much more effective than spamassassin? It has the
disadvantage of not being packaged for debian sarge, which is what the
server is running.  The many spams that are needing to be moderated are all
rated below 5 by spamassassin.  And the darcs-devel moderator is also
finding the spam hard to keep up with.  But we get (on darcs-devel) one
unique non-member posting a month, which our moderator considers worth
leaving it open for (and I agree).
