Summary: dspam_stats creating non-existent users

Initial Comment:
Hi!
when i'm using dspam_stats for non-existent users it will create the user...
for example invoking "dspam_stats -H xyzuser"

ls -la /var/spool/dspam/data/local/xyzuser
total 2316
drwxr-x---  2 root root    4096 2012-06-25 15:04 ./
drwxr-x--- 12 root root    4096 2012-06-25 15:04 ../
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2359688 2012-06-25 15:04 xyzuser.css
-rw-r--r--  1 root root       0 2012-06-25 15:04 xyzuser.lock

Message:
I did the changes, and dspam_stats is still adding new users.
Have to say that I'm not running dspam in daemon mode using pipes instead.

IMHO creating users is a untypical action for a "stats program" regardless
of the opt setting.

Message:
Probably you have instructed DSPAM to automatically create users as soon as
DSPAM is processing messages/tasks for a user.

If you set/change in dspam.conf:
Preference "optIn=off"
Preference "optOut=on"
Opt in

Change preferences for default:
dspam_admin change preference default optIn off
dspam_admin change preference default optOut on


Restart DSPAM daemon and retry to list statistics for a non existing user:
dspam_stats -H ishouldnotexist


If you still get a user created then it is a bug. If you don't get the user
created then please take the time and read the DSPAM documentation
regarding user handling in DSPAM.
