but it uses the same regex engine that perl does, and the
syntax is nice and clean, so the learning curve nearly
disappeared.
to procmail, i say: "feh!"
compare these two--
# .procmailrc
:0:
* ^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED](g|inance).com
agf
:0:
* ^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
cmc
:0:
* ^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
snoog
:0:
* ^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
snoog
:0:
* ^Subject:.*free-thinkers
flint-school
versus
# exim filter
if $return_path matches "agf(g|inance)\.com" then
save Mail/agf
elif $return_path ends "cmcone.com" then
save Mail/cmc
elif $return_path matches "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
or $return_path matches "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then
save Mail/snoog
elif $h_subject: contains "free-thinkers" then
save Mail/flint-school
endif
i'm feeling much better, now.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #16 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Why are *.rpm (RED HAT PACKAGES) considered spawn of Satan?
Because the Debian package system is a lot more sophisticated
than the one Red Hat uses; lots more inter-dependency information
is built in to a *.deb package. If you bypass that with an *.rpm
file, you're taking chances with your system. Try to "apt-get
install <debian-only>" packages if possible. (Also check out the
"alien" package if you must.)
