   spamd -d -c
at system startup
then, from procmailrc, I push each message through

Noooo.

Oh that would be truly disgustable.   You say "In many setups". What's the
best way to ensure that I am _not_ ne of those setups?

yes. No errors.

Thanks.  Performance improvement hints are always appreciated.

Well, I don't really care, actually, for this pattern. There's probably a /
in front (specifically http://) and a / or a space or whoknowswhat after.
But few things that aren't URLs have this look about them and I figure the
www. and the .net are sufficient to ensure it's actually a URL and not the
middle of something else.

Your point is well taken for "dictionary word" patterns of course.
