Customizing amavis.conf

[Robert Moskowitz]

Markus,

What would the format of this 'include' be?  What if the file does not 
exist?

dovecot.conf has a:

!include_try local.conf

For this purpose.  This way, amavis.conf could ship with the ability to 
handle a local.conf instead of still needing one mod.
