Philip timed both recipes for quite a large number of "lists", and the
internal procmail recipe was quite substantially faster.
But what I am surprised about is, with such a large number of items in
the first recipe, it didn't exceed the LINEBUF default (or maybe I'm
confused about what that variable is about).
You can reset the value of linebuff to whatever you want. :)
LINEBUF=30000
should handle most things.
