Jason, I use procmail and I think it ridiculous to expect ME to compensate
for somebody else's lack of technical expertise. If they don't have
filtering software, they should install it. There's no reason by system
should be slowed down (and yes, if we receive enough messages to warrant
filtering to begin with then my already slow system will be slowed down
even further) by having to call up formail AND awk just to filter a
message!
Sheesh...every time a message comes through to me it already takes such a
long time due to my complicated filtering system.
There's no reason my system should be slowed down or complicated any
further to compensate for somebody else's lack of a system.
Just my opinion....
