It's too late for the latter, but I can try to do the former.

My goal was to minimize any disruption to the existing configuration.
In particular, I wanted to avoid any reconfiguration of the MTA (exim).
Therefore, both the responsibility of calling dspam (actually dspamc)
and actual disposition of emails was left to the delivery agent.  The
delivery agent is my homemade one [1] but you can just imagine procmail
in its place, as the functionality is very similar.

The MDA called dspamc with the email on stdin and with the --stdout
option, and it replaced its in-memory image of the email with the stdout
from dspamc.  In a procmailrc, it would look somewhat like this:

 :0fw: /tmp/.dspamc-itz.lock
 | dspamc --mode=toe --deliver=innocent,spam --feature=chain,noise,whitelist --stdout

Then the MDA would dispose of the email based on its headers (once it
has been through the above filter and so presumably has the X-DSPAM-*
headers).  I never got to reconfigure that part, but it works fine with
spamassassin/spamc.
