Don't get me wrong, I use it: wc -l .procmailrc .procmailrc.imap 245 .procmailrc 675 .procmailrc.imap 920 total But if we were designing it from scratch again I suspect we'd change the language format quite a bit based on lessons learned. EG, the ":0" backwards-compatibility solution/problem would probably go away. The sad thing is that we probably could go back to ":" at this point since I'm 99.999% sure that no one is running the older version it was written to allow backwards-compatibility with. (I also still like sendmail, but I've still switched to postfix) -- Wes Hardaker My Pictures: http://capturedonearth.com/ My Thoughts: http://pontifications.hardakers.net/
