Crazy!
I didn't know I could do a NOT operator on a verify (I'd never seen it done
in an example, so thought it impossible - well more didn't know the
syntax... My guess would have been verify != helo or verify = !helo :)).
I did it, and it works as expected now - thank you :D
I believed the documents were incorrect, until I just re-read the section
about this and now realise I'm quite the fool :P It said something about
how it returns true if the contents were verified - I was thinking of this
as more of a general true if verification was *done*, not so much as a
success/fail toggle (which thinking about being true if verification was
*done* is completely useless).
Thanks again!
Eli.

Don't you want:
!verify = helo
? It seems to me that the statement reads:
if (verify = helo) ; then warn "...."; fi
(rough logic). So when verify = helo fails, you get no warn statement.
Shot in the dark and all,
