I can't find the explanation of those on the procmailrc man page

Check out the "procmail weighted scoring technique":

 man procmailsc


* ^X-Spam-Level: \*{15} would have worked if it was real egrep.
Any other ways to make it look less silly or cryptic?  I see there are
flags (D) to turn off egrep's -i, but no flags to turn egrep into fgrep.

What I do is put the following in my SA user_prefs file

 spam_level_char  R

where R stands for Red and then match on

 * ^X-Spam-Level: RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

or however many Rs I'm looking for. It still looks pretty silly
though! I discuss my SA setup here:

 <http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/spam/#SA>

That page also discusses my general spam strategy and my magenta,
blue, green, yellow, and red mailboxes.

Hope this is helpful,
Nancy
