This is not normal, something is wrong with your installation - most
likely that you haven't installed all of the prerequisite perl modules.

Check the result files in results.def/ for error messages.

That's only for people who want to regression test using their own
configurations, before upgrading to a new release. Doing this creates
a baseline based on the current configuration and helps you track
changes in the behavior of the program between releases - if your
current config is broken then "success" only means that things are
*still* broken.

No. :)

Anomy does a better job decoding complex MIME messages. Anomy also allows
you to plug in a third-party virus scanner if you like.

As necessary / when I have time.
