Nope, those aren't picked up as violations -- I've had them filtered in 
my ignore.server.d/spamd for a while now, and it works just fine.  I 
understand if you don't want to add them to the distro, though, so 
please let me know and I'll move them to ignore.server.d/local-spamd.

Will logcheck complain if there's a foo and a local-foo in the same 
directory?

Thanks,
