In most/all of the copies of this worm that i've seen, the
period in this line is encoded as =2E. To get around my
uncertainty about how to match that, i just omit that
part in the pattern.   :)

Interesting! That must have gotten converted to a real period when Eudora sucked it down to my desktop machine, which is why when I loaded it back up to test it interactively, the recipe worked just fine.

One more question, if you don't mind: AIUI, these "*" lines are actually regular expressions. So wouldn't "." match any character anyway? Or would it require a [.*] to match =2E? Or am I totally off-base?

(Obviously I'm new to procmail -- never had incentive to use it before!)

Thanks,
