I looked around and didn't find any instructions on install the Dspam web frontend on Debian Etch. So here is how I got it working.

1) Install the debian package

aptitude install dspam-webfrontend

2) Create the Virtual Host file in /etc/apache2/sites-available. It should contain the following at least. I called it dspam.


        ServerAdmin admin@yourhost.com
        DocumentRoot "/var/www/dspam"
        ServerName dspam.yourhost.com
        SuexecUserGroup dspam dspam
        
           Options ExecCGI
           Options -Indexes
           Addhandler cgi-script .cgi
           DirectoryIndex dspam.cgi

3) Enable the site:

a2ensite dspam

4) Create an .htaccess file in the /var/www/dspam directory. I used digest mode.

AuthName 'Dspam'
AuthType Digest
AuthDigestProvider file
AuthUserFile /var/www/dspam.password
require valid-user

5) Create the password file for valid users with htdigest.

htdigest -c /var/www/dspam.password Dspam User1
htdigest /var/www/dspam.password Dspam User2
. . . .

6) Reload apache to make it all work

/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

7) Goto dspam.yoursite.com and log in.
