See countless recent posts saying how you DO NOT put variables in braces - 
procmail doesn't use them.

I am used to doing that when I write shell scripts. Is it harmful for
procmail?


Further, this is more concise:

FROM=|$FORMAIL -rtzxTo:

I didn't know that. Thank'ye :)


* ? cat ${HOME}/trusted_addresses | grep ${FROM}

spare yourself the cat:

* ? grep -i $FROM $HOME/trusted_addresses

(note the use of the -i flag for case insensitivity)


is there other way to filter a message in case i have some file with some
addresses based on that i'm going to do some actions.

By way of example, I use a similar method for twit filtering (one of many 
filters in my twit filtration):

Thank you for recipe! It appeared to be very useful for me.
