I have been using DSPAM for a while now, and am very happy with it, but was quite anxious that the project is left out by Sensory Networks (the company took over DSPAM in May 2007).

I give all my confidence in the fork as the original author, Jonathan Zdziarski, is part of the new development team!

I have prepared EXPERIMENTAL packages of the first RC of DSPAM-Community.

These are only meant for testing and should not be used in a production environment!

I haven’t tested these packages in depth (only tested installation or upgrade from previous official/unofficial packages).
There might still be problems due to the new names.

I have built packages for i386 and amd64 architectures. They are built against current unstable distribution. They might be used on Ubuntu, but I haven’t tested this yet.

I have setup a quick page for these packages.

All the applied patches are available for review and possible merge into git: http://packages.kirya.net/dspam-community/debian-patches/

To use these packages, add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://packages.kirya.net/dspam-community/ experimental main
deb-src http://packages.kirya.net/dspam-community/ experimental main

The repository uses secure-apt, you can hence check packages integrity thanks to my dedicated GPG key:

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys FBABB737
gpg --export -a FBABB737 | apt-key add -

or

wget -O - http://packages.kirya.net/Kirya.netDebianpackagesVerificationKey.asc | apt-key add -

Feel free to test the packages and the first DSPAM-Community RC.
Any comment is welcome!

To the official DSPAM packaging team: feel free to take these packages as a basis for your work in case you are interested in packaging DSPAM-Community!
