PPS - My greenlist (aka whitelist) contains one email address per 
line and is constructed using a script similar to the one I 
posted in May 1998 in this message:

PPPS - Yahoo recently filed a patent for something similar to 
this. The patent application is

  Apparatus, system and method for use in generating and maintaining 
an electronic address book 
<http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=20040186848.PGNR.>

I wonder if I should let the patent office know about my scripts 
and procmail recipes?!

If you don't and we all have to start paying licensing fees to yahoo you are
going to be in big trouble Nancy!  :-)
