you mean "than that" right? ;) that would be correct, but i've just
changed "other than" to "except". seems simpler.

the doc is pretty clear that it is list singular, so i haven;t touched
it. but if you want to test it, and find that it's wrong, mail me and

spamd.conf(5) wording

2016-03-13 Thread hans
Two bits seem unclear in spamd.conf(5),
at least to a non-native speaker.


 # Strings follow getcap(3) convention escapes, other than you
 # can have a bare colon (:) inside a quoted string and it
 # will deal with it.

"Other that _that_ you can have a bare colon"?


 # Lists specified with the :white: capability apply to the previous
 # list with a :black: capability.

Should that be "lists"? Or does a :white: list only apply
to the one :black: "list" immediately preceding it?
