meeting will be today
the first line of test_message was '>cat test_message'. i somehow broke the
test file and wasn't allowing myself to see it.
after being corrected:
>cat header_checks-ignored
/^Received: from localhost \(localhost \[127\.0\.0\.1\]\)\s+by
mta\.example\.com \(Postfix\) with ESMTP id/ IGNORE
>postmap -hq - pcre:./header_checks-ignored < test_message

this all works just as it should, when the operator does what he should.
thanks
