In fact I just pasted one setup I made long ago, but now can't remember what its rationale was. Indeed, it does not seem really useful.

But in fact, even with thousands of addresses filled by the procmail recipe, I still find the use of lbdb convenient: there's not that many people sharing the same name, and I don't bother if there's a little more than the people I was searching for in the results. The problem with adding only one person at a time (like with the aliases), is that when making a query I often find that... well, I forgot to add this folk. Eventually, to remediate this, you find yourself hitting 'A' a lot more than needed because you're not sure if this person is in the db. Thus, just in case... I think, I'll keep my good old procmail recipe. :) -- Cedric
