Ok, so you mean that the default is to not learn mail as spam ?

I don't think we need to touch this option. IMO most users don't want to
bother with the spam learning stuff and will let do the sysadmin to
create optimized spam learning rules. For the users who want to have the
control can always use the web frontend.

Thoughts ?

I don't understand completely:
Preference "spamAction=quarantine", that's what is in the default
src/dspam.conf.in -> You want to change that too tag ?

If so, I completely agree.
