end user head space

[Michael Janssen]

Hello list,

procmail can't do it self. But procmail has an \/-Operator wich generates
a $MATCH with everything the rest of the test catches:

### SA-Scoring
:0
* ^X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: SpamAssassin .score=\/[^\., ]*
* ? test ${MATCH} -ge 15
$MAILDIR/spam/high

filling the score (everything after \/ till dot, comma, space) to $MATCH
and then process with (bash-builtin) test. "?" let procmail take the
return value of the given programm as a test.

since "test" doesn't handel floats the regexp has to cut the score to int.

Warning: I'm not shure if this repipe is sure. What happens when
rbl-checks involved? On our side, we don't do any rbl-dns-checks so i
can't say.

cheers
