LISTNAME=`fgrep -xi $MATCH listnamefile`
I saw many different ways of filtering messages against a huge list (for
instance, for spam-blocking) but no information about the relative
speeds. Did anyone perfom serious benchmarks comparing, fgrep on the text
file, translating (off line) the text file to a procmail recipe (with one
recipe per line or just one recipe with a huge regular expression),
indexing it, etc?
