David,

the program only compiles the pskmailrc.pl file when you run it the first time.
It will remain intact even when you install a new version of the program!
You can edit it with 'gedit ~/.pskmail/pskmailrc.pl'
(mind the .dot agn...)
After editing the pskmailrc.pl file you must restart the program (ctrl-C, 
pskmail_server).
The config file is read only at restart of the program.
The frequencies file is read automatically every hour, so you can change the 
scanning table without restarting the server...

hope this helps,

Rein PA0R
