Description
This update for amavisd-new fixes the following issues :
wmavisd-new was updated to version 2.11.1 (bsc#1123389) :
removed a trailing dot element from @INC, as a workaround for a perl vulnerability CVE-2016-1238 (bsc#987887)
amavis-services: bumping up syslog level from LOG_NOTICE to LOG_ERR for a message 'PID <pid> went away', and removed redundant newlines from some log messages </pid>

@sa_userconf_maps has been extended to allow loading of per-recipient (or per-policy bank, or global) SpamAssassin configuration set from LDAP.

add some Sanesecurity.Foxhole false positives to the default list @virus_name_to_spam_score_maps
updated some comments
Update amavis-milter to version 2.6.1: Fixed bug when creating amavisd-new policy bank names
