[Wlug] Procmail Question

[Peter Gutowski]

According to the man page the second ":" is optional, i.e.

:0:

but, as a sample of something known to work (from the SpamAssassin sample .procmailrc) it does use the above syntax. Here's the example:

# Mails with a score of 15 or higher are almost certainly spam (with 0.05%
# false positives according to rules/STATISTICS.txt). Let's put them in a
# different mbox. (This one is optional.)
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
mail/almost-certainly-spam

The above *does* work on my system (RHL8.0).

So maybe the second ":" is not optional all the time?

HTH, Peter
