I think you mean
Code:
su user2 -c "command"

You can simply switch to the user without a command, this opens a new interactive shell.
Code:
su user2

Also you can replace the current shell with
Code:
exec su user2

But both won't allow the calling shell to send further commands.

dspam_merge

dspam_merge(1)							       DSPAM							    dspam_merge(1)

NAME

       dspam_merge - merge several users' metadata into a composite

SYNOPSIS

       dspam_merge [--profile=PROFILE]	user1 user2 ... userN -o username

DESCRIPTION

       dspam_merge  merges  several users' metadata into a single user's dictionary. This tool is designed to create global users and seeded data.
       The hit sounds for each token and per-user totals are added together to produce a single composite  dataset.  After  creating  a  composite
       user, dspam_clean should be run with the -p option to clean up extraneous data.

       NOTE : Merges may take a considerable amount of time. This could potentially increase the load on the server or even slow down the delivery
       of email. A merge should only be performed when the system is fairly acquiesce.

OPTIONS

	--profile=PROFILE
	      Specify a storage profile from dspam.conf. The storage profile selected will be used for all database connectivity.  See	dspam.conf
	      for more information.

	user1 user2 ... userN
	      A list of users to merge together.

	-o username
	      The target user which will be created (if necessary). This user will contain the composite generated by the merge.

EXAMPLES

       dspam_merge dick jane spot -o ralph

       Merges the metadata dictionaries of dick, jane, and spot into a single composite under the user ralph

EXIT VALUE

       0      Operation was successful.
       other  Operation resulted in an error.
