With this, db lookups (such as greenlist checks generally performed using
grep), 'host', SPF, DNSBL, all could easily be integrated into procmail
with minimal overhead (particularly as they may apply to walking headers
and performing multiple lookups). Math functions (such as bc) would be
handy. IP quad inversion without gobs of code, some simple sed operations,
basic formail type actions from WITHIN procmail, it goes on and on.
Yes, this would be very nice. Would prevent a lot of expensive forking
with complex scripts.
Thoughts anyone?
I like it. Long overdue.
Along the same lines, you could also allow embedded perl and python,
allowing you to call out to perl/python functionality while avoiding
expensive fork()s
perl and python are relatively simple to embed.
