Heh, I didn't see it either. :)

Can't you just combine the two if statements?

post-activate {
     # The user and group in 'assp.cfg.defaults' was changed, id this  
is a new
     # install, copy it to active
     if {![file exists ${assp_base}/assp.cfg]} {
         file copy ${assp_base}/assp.cfg.defaults \
             ${assp_base}/assp.cfg
         ui_msg "

     ASSP has been installed correctly, a startup item has been  
installed...

     You can test it now with
     cd ${prefix}/var/ASSP
     ${prefix}/bin/perl assp.pl

     Point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:55555/ -- put anything  
you like
     in the username and use the password nospam4me to connect. If  
everything
     is working correctly you will see a beautifully formatted  
configuration
     screen with all of ASSP's fabulous features spelled out for you in
     painful detail. Simply click the options you want, type a few
     customizations if you like and you're on your way.

     At a minimum you'll want to change values for 'Web Admin Password,'
     'Accept All Mail,' 'Local Domains,' 'Spam Error,' and 'Spam  
Addresses.'
     The password for your server is posted in bold on the internet for
     EVERYONE to see, so if you don't change it, you deserve what you  
get.
     Also remember to press Enter or click the button at the bottom to
     register your changes - simply clearing a checkbox doesn't send the
     change to ASSP.

     See ${homepage} for more information.
