    Of course, my "abuse" is directly perportional to the amount of times
any particular, ill-suited, poorly written tool is elevated to the
status of a geek icon when other, bettern designed, just as useful and
widely propigated tools are available.  Uttering FORTRAN's name in a
Rainman like reaction at every possible utterance of a mail problem and
you'll see the same reaction.

"Oh, I need a mail fil..."

"Procmail."

"...ter which can check on different hea..."

"Yeah, Procmail."

"..ders and run it through a bayes..."

"Procmail, yea, Procmail..."

"..ian filter.  Since Exim has filtering, could it be done in that?"

"Procmail...  Procmail..."
