My easy-install ClamAV+SpamAssassin package doesn't do any of the spamc 
or spamd tests as MailScanner doesn't use them anyway. So I don't care 
about errors with those tests, I don't run them in the first place :-)

Merry Christmas to you too!
Doesn't look like we're getting any snow any time soon :-( All pictures 
of snow are most welcome :-)
