+ AUTHOR: stefan@FreeBSD.org
+
+ With the update to version 1.4d, the SpamProbe port doesn't use the OPTIONS
+ framework any more to allow part of the changes below. That means that options
+ selected for this port won't be saved/used automatically any more and you have
+ to set the appropriate variables in /etc/make.conf or on the command line to
+ change the port's behaviour; the variables are documented at the top of the
+ port's Makefile. Before updating, it might be a good idea to remove
+ /var/db/ports/spamprobe.
+
+ The port now has support for the PBL database backend; unless built with
+ WITHOUT_PBL set, SpamProbe will use PBL as the default even if you have an
+ existing BerkleyDB or hash database; in that case, use the parameter "-d" to
+ specify the type of the existing database on the command line, e.g.
+
+ spamprobe -d bdb:$HOME/.spamprobe receive
+
+ or
+
+ spamprobe -d hash:$HOME/.spamprobe receive
+
+ Using PBL instead of BerkleyDB might be a good idea, though, as the former
+ seems to perform better. You can convert your existing database to PBL using
+ the following commands (assuming you didn't disable PBL support):
+
+ cd ~
+ mkdir spamprobe.new
+ spamprobe -d bdb:.spamprobe export | spamprobe -d spamprobe.new import
+ mv .spamprobe spamprobe.old
+ mv spamprobe.new .spamprobe
