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?
No. "b" processes the message body one line at a time. It'll be fine.The "w" option runs the search on the entire contents as a single object. PCRE needs whatever context's to be searched in a single memory buffer.
