dspam: a batch of improvements:
expanded POD
cleaned up stray EOL spaces
added lots of logging, with standardized [ pass | fail | skip ] prefixes
added reject_type option
use split for parsing dspam headers
use SA note instead of parsing headers
added reject = agree option
store & fetch dspam results in a note
