I've been observing with interest the discussion generated on the

I've set up a mailing list
procmail-future(_at_)zanshin(_dot_)com
for further discussion.
I've seen plenty of discussion of "where procmail ought to go" on the
procmail list itself, and for a few people rarely seen here to run off
into their own corner and try and change procmail for their own purposes
seems a bad idea to me. (Less sure about smartlist--I've heard that list
is very quiet, but I don't subscribe.)

A big problem is that it does not handle different level of domain

listmaster.
That's not a bug... those are *DIFFERENT* email addresses. In some domains,
they do NOT correspond to the same user, or one may be his shell account
and the other his ppp acount.
