But you're already amazingly close to what's already there! For efficiency
and all around better code the access check routines don't get the entire
message; instead the taboo matches are saved and the severities are passed
into the access routines along with variables containing the state of all
of the other transgressions. And you do have a simple language that lets
you do the logical connectives and such.

My scheme does not have that problem because the language is "compiled"
into perl instead of being perl itself, and I have taken rather strict
security precautions. To Majordomo, there can be no such thing as a
"friendly" site; all list admins must be treated with the same amount of
mistrust.

But it's already been implemented that way! I'm just asking about one
final bit of semantics. (The current additional flags are line limit and
severity.)
