True. But the good thing about procmail is that if you know how
to use it, you will survive with any mailer daemon (except qmail,
which is far too incompatible with anything with the .qmail files
and all this stuff oh you'd better kill me right now before I get
crazy about... Oops, sorry, nevermind), and knowing exim
filtering mechanism makes you survive only in an exim shop. But
exim filtering is, IMO, very nice.

False.
> I think learning the Exim way is probably best.
Perhaps. More knowledge is always good. That was the main
reason for me to leave procmail. Although I still have my old
outdated procmail configuration, just in case I may need it one
day on another site.

No problem. Reading e-mail and answering questions (I learn from
answering questions a lot by reading more and more documentation)
is more interesting than sleeping, which I'm going to do right
now (4:45am, you bet).
Good luck with exim.

The art in this case was probably pottery.
