Hello,

I'm quite new to maildrop since I migrated from procmail to maildrop :-) yesterday and after reading the manpages, some documentation in the web and the archive of this mailing list I still have some questions but I will ask them later. Currently I'm just interested in the meaning of the recipe which Charles posted here last month.

* "Charles J. Boening" <char...@theboenings.com> wrote:

/*** begin mailfilter file ***/ import EXT import HOST import HOME MAX = 15

[...]

if ((/^X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=![0-9]+\.[0-9]+!.*/:h && $MATCH2 > $MAX)) { exit }

I guess I will never completely understand the full syntax of regular expressions and maildrop's filter language so I hope you could help me to understand the recipe above. As far as I understand it tests the "X-Spam-Status"-line if the required hits are greater than 15 and then just exits. But why would anyone do so? And why is "((...))" used and not only "(...)"?

Regards, Marcus
