I was running spamass-milter-0.2.0_5 from FBSD ports (on FBSD-4.10). Is
there some version later than that? I believe ports system is a CVS thing
-- but....??

Where is the CVS version?

BTW: It was not my intention to bad mouth spamass-milter. Buggy or not, it
has served my needs well and am/was glad it was there. If it is indeed
buggy-free, I would like to continue with it instead of something new &
just for the sake of changing.

BTW2: I could never get the -B to work either and never got an answer when
I posted about it when the switch first appeared.
