That's beside the point, IMO. All the documentation and syntax checkers in the world aren't going to change the fact that procmail's :0: * ^From: AntiSpam UOL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /dev/null (stolen from one of Gene Heskett's recent posts) is more cryptic and requires more effort for the average speaker of English to understand than exim's equivalent if $h_From contains "AntiSpam UOL" then seen finish endif Granted, the exim version still requires a little bit of learning to fully understand or to create new rules based on it, but most seem to find it easier than procmail syntax. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
