KAM.cf.sh script is not working

The KAM.cf.sh script downloaded from
http://www.mailscanner.info/files/4/KAM.cf.sh fails to update the latest
/etc/mail/spamassassin/KAM.cf file.

The script searches for a line at the end of the downloaded file
matching the pattern '^#.*EOF' to determine if the downloaded file is
complete. If it doesn't find that line, it doesn't update the working file.

It seems that the latest KAM.cf file has a '#END' line rather than
'#EOF' to indicate the end. Thus the script thinks the download was
incomplete.

This patch fixes the problem.
