make showconfig - show what you've chosen
make rmconfig - deleted that configuration
make config - you know by now ;)

The OPTIONS are saved in /var/db/ports/_port_name_/options

There are no differences regarding your problem the -devel
fixes. Please report the part of the email regarding your problem on
dspam list adding the output of dspam --version and
/var/db/ports/dspam/options and I'll try to help you there.

Not my fault :)
# cd /usr/ports/mail/dspam/ && make readme

>    dspam-devel/ does not have README.html and pkg-install

Not my fault:
# cd /usr/ports/mail/dspam/ && make readme

If you have time do this in /usr/ports or use sysutils/portindex

The pkg-install is not needed and will disappear in dspam port too.
