which part, the regex or the if statement?

if the 'if' statement, it's documented.

if the regex.. well, that's standard regex syntax, I don't know why you wouldn't expect it to work.

The regex part. I agree it's standard regex syntax, but the docs *suggest* that maildrop doesn't support standard (full) regexp. I looked at the list and saw lots of examples which do repetative kind of "if (/^From: blah/) || (^From: blahblah/) )" and assumed that the regexp library didn't support backtracking to do the (blah|blahblah) kind of syntax

It's just that since the list is full of (badly written?) regexps which suggest that this syntax isn't supported, and since maildrop otherwise has lovely docs I just wondered whether it wouldn't be worth mentioning it in the Pattern section?

P.S. I write a bit of perl on the side, so I'm quite comfortable with regexp generally...
