In both my procmail recipe files, I define white space, like this:
SPACE = ' '
TAB = ' '
WS = "$SPACE$TAB"
In one recipe files, I use the following condition, which successfully
matches against the mailbox.
* ^X-Original-To:[$WS]*\/[^(_at_)]+
In the other recipe file, I use a similar condition, which won't match
at all.
* ^X-Original-To:[$WS]*help_please(_at_)mydomain\(_dot_)tld
However, it WILL match if instead of using [$WS]* I use
<space><tab><asterisk> instead.
I've even copied the working recipe file to a new file, and edited it
without touching the lines where I define $WS. But for some reason, it
still fails.
I've been chewing over just this little bit for 2 hours now - can anyone
explain what's happening?
Many thanks,
Steve
