I just realised that the backticks always trigger procmail to
feed the whole message to te called shell, right? So in fact
the statement above is not the best one:
dummy = `echo "$FROM $SUBJECT" >> $SIMPLE_LOG`
but instead I should write
:0 hi:
| echo "$FROM $SUBJECT" >> $SIMPLE_LOG
but it's not one liner any more and breaks the A E dependencies
in my .procmailrc. Can someone comment if using the first one
is that expensive that I should care about it?
It doesn't matter. Either way procmail will make one write system call
which will return 0 [bytes written] and off it goes.
