Don't place files (such as /etc/amavis/conf.d/blacklist_itp )
into a directory /etc/amavis/conf.d/, which is dedicated to
configurations files in Debian and Ubuntu packaging of amavis.
Files in this directory are interpreted as Perl scripts,
i.e. are amavis config files, like amavisd.conf.

The diagnostics you are seeing comes from Perl itself,
which tries to interpret our file as a Perl program.
