A given slave process generally handles more than one message, and any variables you set will remain set for the life of the process. > Is it recommended to undef these variables in filter_end?

It's also safer, because you're guaranteed that the variable initialization code will have executed before any calls to filter. If you do it in filter_end, then the initialization code won't have been called for the very first message to be processed. > Will $Sender or any of the elements in @Recipients ever have angle brackets?
