Thanks for pointing that out. I did find it in the documentation sections of the Conf.pm Perl module that get exported as a man page during a manual module installation. This is not the first time that I've taken a rather lengthy cruise to give myself the right advice: RTFM :-) Not sure exactly why, but in the Amavis + Spamassassin combo, somehow it was a little unclear to me, "where to start" :-)
Then again, in the end it seems it was actually the -T switch to Perl that made a key difference. Debian spoils me. Makes me lazy :-) Frank
