I think that the conditional functions (the ones you only use in the IF

in a tyipical filter these are evaluated each time a message is

functions that Mitch propose are evaluated in "rare" cases, so we could
fork a process. Having to fork one or more proccess to verify some
conditions for each message to be delivered is lame. What do you think
Sam?
How about incorporating Tcl support into maildrop? You simply use a shared
library (the Tcl interpreter) and don't need to fork anything. Maildrop can
add commands to the Tcl interpreter as required to do more complex things.
I hope you are kidding. tcl? who uses that anymore?
If not, then why not shared language support for any of Python (best),
Perl (icky ;-), shell and others. Oh, wait, I've got it! Why not make
maildrop take on all of the properties of all languages!
I'm with Sam - I hate bloat. If he wants to write shared module support
for it, then that's fine.
