i get much much too much mail, so i'm trying to use procmail to cut
down on the volume. i've added the following lines to my .procmailrc
(the first is taken from soren's procmailrc), but i'm still a bit
nervous about screwing things up. does anyone see anything wrong in
any of this? is it doing what the comments clain it's trying to do?
i'm mainly concerned about the (this|that|the other) construct. am i
write in thinking that it means "we've got a match if any one of these
is present"? thanks!
