Yep.  I had that set.  But I didn't have postfix's default_privs user 
listed as a dspam Trusted user.  Setting that, plus setting up a per- 
user spam-<user> alias, plus some other magic to make fetchmail use the 
correct domain when performing initial delivery, has gotten things to 
work for me.

That make sense, by itself.  But I'm still not sure how the user sends 
messages to this service for relearning.  Maybe I need a bigger clue-by- 
four.  (A clue-by-eight?)

Do you add a [pair of] aliases to /etc/mail/aliases{,.db} specifying 
/path/to/the/pipes ?
