Why what? Why logging at all? This was part of the "scaling better"
plan. Why using dict service? Because it has good fallover behaviour
etc.

I'm just doing a proper build system etc. I'll get around to it :)

Right. Haven't thought about pristine training much yet, I still hope
you'll nail your bug and get rid of that requirement ;)

Actually, I just realised that it's possible to give multiple options,
maybe that's preferable?

plugin {
	dspam_trashes = trash1,trash2,trash3
	dspam_options = --user=xxx --a --b --c --d
	...
}

Right now I'm thinking to build the plugin from multiple files depending
on the backend selection. I'll publish the git tree this afternoon to
show you, right now I have to go have a shower :)

Decided to do my own because that one had libdspam integrated already.
That's another backend then.
