PCRE will be able to support all of maildrop's functionality except for the "w" pattern option. With PCRE, the "w" option would require the entire message to be loaded into memory. Maildrop does not load large messages into memory, and this would not be desirable. Therefore, adoption of PCRE will require dropping the "w" option.


According to http://www.courier-mta.org/maildropfilter.html#AEN570
also the "b" option would then suffer the same limitation. Correct?

When I use that option, I precede it with a test to avoid consuming
too much CPU, e.g.

  if ($LINES < 100 && $SIZE < 3200 && /^Keyword: *!.*$/:b) ...

That is useful for doing automated messages with known machine readable
format, without being disturbed by spurious messages that may happen to
be delivered to the same mailbox. Wouldn't it be possible to load
[part of [a specific MIME entity of]] the message on demand?
