Upgrading j-chkmail

Upgrading is easy, just get new tar.gz, uncompress, ./configure, make install, then you should have a look at the configuration changes. You can generate the new j-chkmail.cf and launch a diff against your old configuration file.

j-chkmail -m > j-chkmail.cf.new
diff /etc/mail/jchkmail/j-chkmail.cf j-chkmail.cf.new > j-chkmail.cf.diff
vi j-chkmail.cf.new
mv j-chkmail.cf.new /etc/mail/jchkmail/j-chkmail.cf

How does j-chkmail interpret that new configuration?
