1. Updating the original rule required restarting sendmail with a kill
-HUP, in order to re-load the array of subjects. Whereas, like access.db,
the database can be rebuilt on-the-fly with no sendmail restart needed.
That should be fixable. Why can't you do something like:

Well, there goes plausible deniability on premeditation!

$lc_subject =~ s/\s/./g;
which will squish multiple spaces down to a single dot, this might make
your
source file smaller as well and would handle tabs as well.

David was faster at the keyboard than you, Jim. ;) He suggested the
following yesterday...
$lc_subject = s/^\s+//;

I am not sure if either of the above would break anything as perl is pretty
forgiving of these things. However, you might consider substituting on
whitespace like so:
$lc_subject =~ s/\s/./g;

Yeah,
I saw that after I replied! His does a better job at sanitation than mine as I
had not thought of leading or trailing whitespace. :)

Actually, that should read:
$lc_subject =~ s/\s+/./g;
True, sometimes the fingers do not type what the mind meant ;)

Why the switch from your sendmail rules (i.e. /etc/mail/subjects_full
and /etc/mail/subjects_part) to MD to check the subject? I would think
avoiding a milter call for memory and processor savings would be
beneficial.
Well, if you're doing a milter call anyway,
And Ken's code could pick out individual words from the subject and
find them in the database. I bet you _could_ do that with Sendmail
rulesets, but I shudder to imagine what they'd look like.
The old sendmail rule would do the same thing (whole subjects, or keywords.)
