avoid false positives (specifically targeted at Mr. Dunford's

recipe).
I think that's entirely a matter of personal opinion.
I don't; if Mr. Dunford joined the procmail-dev list, his filter _would_
immediately generate false positives because his filter condition isn't
unique enough, and he'd have to go back to figure out why. That isn't
opinion; but it IS specifically the recipe I was commenting on.
Mr. Dunford _is_ on the procmail-dev list. ;-)
But you're right: the recipe isn't very accurate, but I wrote it as a
compromise. It accomplishes what I intend - which is to allow me to
quickly add and remove mailing lists and sort them into folders.
I sort of lied. I don't use the recipe I posted anymore. Here's the
current recipe, but it uses the same ^TO_procmail style. Someday I'll
look out for those false positives. When I have the time.
