Touche, not set. Though it was running like that since ~December last
year hence my question to misc@ if anyone noticed it behaving
differently since the last release. In no way I'm assuming that
something is wrong on the OS / software level - in fact I assumed that
my setup was performed incorrectly by me. So far I learned a ton of
useful info by asking on the list here, hope no one feels offended :)

$ cat /etc/login.conf | grep -i spam 
$
