OK, I've been staying out of this discussion, but adding MORE special-case code to ANY program for something like this is just plain stupid in my opinion. It *needlessly* complicates the code, and "special cases" are just that -- cases that differ from the norm. Please, if you want to throw away messages (and you are using maildrop), simply set EXITCODE to 0 and exit. Done. *No* more programs are invoked, *no* more I/O need occur, *no* more system resources consumed, *no* more stupid special-case in the code. Note: (exit)codes other than 0 may also be appropriate here. 0 works, I use it. -- Ensign Walnut approaches Dr. Crusher with caution...
