Toen wij David W. Tamkin kietelden, kwam er dit uit:
Ruud:
Q: Why is there no need to write SWITCHRC = "$HOME/.procmailrc"
A: Because "$HOME/.procmailrc" is already standing in line, waiting
for /etc/procmailrc to finish.
Not only that! If you write SWITCHRC = "$HOME/.procmailrc" and
somewhere in $HOME/.procmailrc or in a SWITCHRC called from it, the
user unsets SWITCHRC or sets it to /dev/null as an intentional quick
exit with a save to $DEFAULT, instead, procmail will go back to the
start of $HOME/.procmailrc. You'd be setting up an unexpected
situation for the user.
Scary! Does that only apply to the /etc/procmailrc - $HOME/.procmailrc
chain, or also in other circumstances?
