Good idea, this will follow later this day.

Yeah, my experiences are to be very carefull with new upstream versions of
amavis. It may be good to get an overview about the current state of the
debian amavis and its patches first and if I'm done with that we will see
whats coming next.

SVN/SVK would fine with me too, but I will ask on the mailinglist for other
