The 'standard' practice for instructions for customizing amavis.conf have been to edit the file.

But after working on the roundcubemail php files, I think I have learned a 'better' way?

amavis.conf is processed sequentially and is all about setting a bunch of variables. Thus I *SHOULD* be able to just append my changes at the end instead of figuring out all the places to change.

One caveat with amavis.conf that I have not seen in other .conf files is the last line:

1;  # insure a defined return value

Again, nothing says this cannot occur more than once, so I *SHOULD* be able to end my variable settings append with that line.

This would make for a cleaner record of changes made, rather than remembering all the places that were changed. Also cleaner instructions in a howto.

thanks!
