Just what I was thinking of to write, because seemingly
one of my rules BLOATS spamd's memory up to hundreds
of megabytes if searching a large mail (5M).
So this comes exactly whenn needed!
Only it snags on a very special rule!
I preceeded a very convolutet set of p*rn-spammer-domain-names
with a 'negative lookahead assertion': '(?!www\.panicboys\.net)'
to NOT hit the one special combination, which is a japanese
soccer(or football?) club and NOT a p*rn host.
Now your expansion-script, seemingly not knowing '(?!...)'
preceeds every expansion with the panicboys part :-)
Thanks anyway, it is a very good start and possibly just
now will save me a lot of trouble.
THANKS, Stucki
