Bart Schaefer said at one time:
I read through a hundred recent messages or so from each of the procmail
and SmartList lists before asking about "Ongoing development" on the
SmartList list. The procmail messages were almost entirely Q&A about
procmailrc recipes, and (until after I asked) the SmartList messages were
mostly about setup.
Here's a statistic: approximately 3% of the procmail messages archived in
September mention the word "patch". Fewer actually include one or point
to one. I was hoping for a bit better hit rate.
Here is the URL to a FAQ maintained by the owner of the URL which
is basically a compilation of the results of discussion on the
SmartList mailing list. I think this should be an indicator of the
kinds of things people are interested in SmartList doing.

Perhaps I should put this in my sig file for the benefit of newcomers
to the list.
But there are certainly some performance improvements and bug fixes
to look after also.
I would be interested in a referral of a similar FAQ for procmail
if anyone has it. In particular I am interested in the spam filtering.
I recommend:
http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~reriksso/procmail/
and in particular:
http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~reriksso/procmail/links.html
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
