Heretic! j/k  Actually, I think that what this simply means is that we
collect functional, efficient methods for a few of the popular programs,
like procmail and maildrop, and then break it into different configure flag
paths, such as --enable-procmail-sa or --enable-maildrop-sa, or vice-versa,
and so on.

My systems are generally much more stressed-out by the
qmail-scanner/clamscan calls than by the spamc/spamd calls.  I look forward
to the day when clamdmail matures beyond alpha code so that I can drop
qmail-scanner and all those nasty PERL calls.  But that's OT and a diff.

Thanks.  It's also a matter of time -- I tend to shuck large threads when
I'm busy figuring if I need a question answered I can check the archives.
Glad to be of use this time around.
