[Pkg-dspam-misc] Bug#401409: Quarantine stays empty; quarantined messages lost

Package: dspam
Version: 3.6.8-4

I installed dspam 3.6.8-4 on Debian/testing with Postfix 2.3.3-1 and 
configured Postfix to deliver via dspam [1].

The package or the daemon itself sets ownership of the quarantine files [2] 
to "dspam:dspam".  Consequently, the delivery process cannot write spam 
messages to the quarantine because it runs under the user's process (rather 
than dspam).  Changing ownership of [2] to "<user>:dspam" fixes this but 
perhaps there is a more elegant solution.

 1. In /etc/postfix/main.cf:
    mailbox_command = /usr/bin/dspam --deliver=innocent --user $USER -- -d %u
 2. /var/spool/dspam/data/local/<user>.mbox
    /var/spool/dspam/data/local/<user>.mbox.size
    /var/spool/dspam/data/local/<user>.mbox.stamp
