[Pkg-dspam-misc] Bug#366478: Documentation - or the lack thereof

[Josselin Mouette]

Hi,

I know that ranting is not always helpful, but I have to add my own
complaint about dspam's documentation. While there are several
documentation files on random topics, none of them turned to be useful.

I have just spent several hours trying to build the simplest setup I
could think of (a procmailrc filter for a single user) and I still have
NO idea of why I couldn't get it to work. The documentation only
explains why dspam is wonderful but gives no hint on how to use it, and
the error messages are limited to a numerical exit code that isn't
documented either.

If you want this package to be useful, it should include a few HOWTOs or
recipes on how to make a simple working setup. Also, there should be a
default setup that simply works; when you install spamassassin, start
the daemon, and launch spamc, it works. That's the whole point of a
Debian package.

BTW, if anyone can point me at a simple recipe to get it to work with
procmail, that would be very helpful.
