I'll produce a new RPM over the weekend at some point with these files
included. I'll add a couple of very minor fixes to the code too, and try to
get the RPM to save config files it is about to overwrite.

The sample spam.actions.conf file (which I left out of the RPM by mistake)
should say this:

# This file contains instructions for what to do with messages that are
# detected as spam.
# Each line can contain:
# <address> <action>
# where <action> is either 'deliver', 'store' or 'delete'
# and <address> is either a full email address (e.g. user at sub.domain.com)
#                      or a domain name        (e.g. sub.domain.com)
#                      or a wildcard domain    (e.g. *.domain.com)
# If the message is required to be delivered to any of the recipients,
# it will be delivered to all of them.
# The priority of the rules is the same as the order given above,
# i.e. a matching full email address will be used in preference to
# a matching domain name, which will in turn be used in preference to
# a matching wildcard domain name.
