So, I could say something like this:
${reduce{${addresses:$h_to:$h_cc:}{0}{${eval:$value+1}}}} to yield the
number of addresses revealed in the headers. Neat!
Also looking forward to $smtp_count_at_connection_start, which will let me
use teergrubing when I'm not too busy, or even adjust delays. Actually, my
real concern here is the total number of OS processes, due to a daftness in
OSX whereby you can't have more than 2064 processes, and the fact that my
IMAP proxy server uses lots. However, this will allow me to throttle back
the teergrubing when my smtp process count gets high.
Also looking forward to forany and forall. Not sure what I can do with them
yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something!
