[PLUG] procmail country question

[Sandy Herring]

regexp are your friend (or worst enemy)...


:0
* ^From.*\.pl$
{
    LOG="(.pl) "
    # EX_NOUSER = 67 from sysexits.h
    EXITCODE = 67
    :0
    /dev/null
}


Note that the period before the "pl" is escaped so that it's not interpreted
as a regexp (match one anything). Note also that the extended regexp token
for end of a line "$". That's where you tripped. `man procmailrc' for more
details.
