Looking at my sieve/procmail recipes, I rarely use globs (except in blacklisting), it seems. In the blacklisting case, it's against words in Subject: lines, as well as Sender:/From: headers. I'd imagine (for those still using such things), that's a fairly common approach. -- "Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book.
