That is quite an old revision.
However, there were no significant changes since then.
If you update to the latest revision you might need to revert 5e8351bcfb29,
given your dovecot version.

I'm not sure this plugin could be used with POP3.

This line isn't used for dspam backend.

"--user vmail" is treated like a single argument due to missing semicolon.
That is definitely not what you want. Put it like "--client;--user;vmail".

Also, you might consider adding these two:  
"--source=error;--signature=%%s".
But I've never used dspam, so can't know for sure.

These are default, could be removed.

This last line could also be removed because it's default.

No such setting at all for this plugin.

Again, default.

Please fix antispam_dspam_args and let me know whether it works.
