I'm sorry, Martin, but postgrey _does_ use the -T switch, so this _is_
any important bug. The existing postgrey "binary" uses the following
shebang line:
#!/usr/bin/perl -T -w

And that -T in there prohibits the use of the documented and existing
--dbdir commandline option.

Otherwise I wouldn't have complained.

cu,
sven
