I reread the procmailsc man page and changed the scoring accordingly
to:
:0 B
* 1000^0 H ?? ^\/(From|Subject):.*Condition
* 1000^0 ()\/Condition
That still did not help!
If you're worried about efficiency, shouldn't the From: condition go
+first+ so that you avoid the whole scoring stuff if you don't want to
process this message?
:0 # Notice the reversal of H versus B and the \< tweaks
* ! ^From:(.*\<)?(Person1|Person2)\>
* 1^1 ^\/(From|Subject):.*Condition1
* 1^1 B ?? ()\/Condition2
| (formail -z ...)
Or is there something I'm overlooking here?
