Philip Guenther posted the HISTORY file's changes from 3.11pre5, including
these, which puzzle me:
| - Don't strip trailing \n in a $MATCH
Hmm; I wonder if that will break anything when "$MATCH" or $MATCH is used
in an action line (or when $MATCH or $\MATCH is used in a regexp condition
with more of the expression to the right of the variable).
| - Refuse to open directories for INCLUDERC files
Can anyone explain that? What does it mean? Why would a directory need to
be opened for an INCLUDERC file?
My interpretation (backed up by code inspection - procmail.c, line 430):
stat the file given as an INCLUDERC and, if it is a directory, don't honor
the INCLUDERC attempt
| - Syslog failed -o attempts
Is "syslog" supposed to be a verb there?
Yes. It is not uncommon to use "syslog" as a verb meaning "use the syslog
routine to log messages"; in fact, it seems natural to use it in that way.
