I'm converting some filters from procmail and I use the following construct quite a lot:

if (/^From: *(someaddress@somewhere|someotheraddress|somewhereelse)/) { }

However, it's not documented as being valid syntax in the maildrop documentation. I didn't even think to just try it, but converted a bunch of filters to a repetitive IF syntax instead. Completely by chance I spotted that it was possible from someones example filter.

Is it worth adding a note about this to the "PATTERNS" section of the documentation?

Thanks
