Additionally, there seems to be a typo in man/Makefile.am, in the line
ln -s $(mandir)/man3/libdspam.3 $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man1/libdspam.3
The link should be created in subdir man3 and not man1, am I right?
Cheers,
Carlo Rodrigues

Yes. Fixed in GIT. Thanks for reporting this issue.
Don't ask me why the files are first symlinked and then replaced by their
original. I have seen that a bunch of days ago when I added 3 new manual
pages to DSPAM 3.9.0. The comment in the Makefile is writing something
about failed permissions on some platforms so I did not bother to look at
it more deeper and left it the way it is currently done. Do you see any
issue with that way it is currently done, beside that it takes more time
(symlink, remove, add original file, etc).
