[vps-mail] procmail : about reading info from ASCII files

[anon <sikaspam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott et al,

procmail is great but there are some things that are a little awkward 
with it. One thing I would really like to see is a way to make the 
recipe data easier to maintain. We have a lot of recipes that look like 
this int he condition:

* ^From:.*(name1|name2|name3)

When these start to get long they get hard to maintain. I would really 
like to see a type of "include" that would read from a file with one 
entry per line. For obvious reasons, this would make it easy to write 
code in PHP or any other language to administer such lists.

In the meantime, is there a process-friendly way to replace these 
(x|y|z) with a read of some kind?
