That's so much easier than what I'm using, clearly:

list hate =hates-software
rule hate "list-id" "hates-software"

What sucks about ezfilter? Well, mostly that it doesn't do delivery, it's
called from procmailrc and returns a list name, and procmail does the actual
delivery.

Which is too many layers of software for me to feel right about releasing it.

One of these days I'm going to make it generate the procmail rules from the
ezfilter file, so there's only one extra program in the critical path just
waiting to fail. That might reduce the suck enough...

But sticking line-noise.pl in the loop? I may be crazy...

There's stuff above here
