Hi,

I don't quite understand how maildrop's foreach loop works. There is an example email in the attachment. And here is my maildrop script. The purpose is simply to echo the local-part of every To: adress ending in @foobar.com or @foobar.de on the command line once and delete the mail.

/To:\s.*/ foreach getaddr($MATCH) =~ /([^@\s]+)@foobar.(com|de)/ { echo $MATCH1 } to "/dev/null"

However, when I invoke maildrop < testmail.eml, matthias.berndt is echoed three times on the console, despite the fact that it appears only once in the email's To: header. When I write echo $MATCH instead of $MATCH1, every subpattern is echoed on the console, that is: matt@foobar.com matthias.berndt com

How does this work!? textgoeshere textgoeshere
