Sean had advised Doug,
A long list internal to tbe procmail script will be more efficient
than having procmail invoke a program (and possibly a shell as well)
which must open and read another file to check a list.
OTOH, it is a hell of a lot more convenient to manage an external
file.
If the external file is called with INCLUDERC, you come close to getting
the best of both worlds: yes, there is another open and read, and
there's another file descriptor in use, but there's no other program or
shell forked, and you still get the convenience of separate maintenance.
[and now I wait for my present from cowboy]
