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? ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
