The first rule of FSF club is, you don't talk about FSF club :)

I see, so you're letting spamoracle choose the database.  That's fine,
I don't use it so I didn't know.

No problem, I hope it's not too hard.  If you could also look at the
documentation - basically, copy the SpamAssassin section and modify
accordingly, I'll update the menus, check the syntax, and add it in if
you are not familiar with Texinfo.  Not that I'm an expert either, but
I do find Texinfo very manageable and easy to learn.
