I am using procmail to filter mail I receive from OBS into imap folders.
I have a few places where the sorting goes wrong, and for the life of me
I cannot see why.

Consider these two rules (in the procmail config file in this order):
:0

* ^From:.*hermes@opensuse\.org
* ^Subject:.*openSUSE_11\.2*

Shouldn't there be a dot before the 2? I'm not sure if procmail uses regular
expressions, but if it does that means "0 or more instances of '2'" and would
match openSUSE_11. regardless of what follows, no?

Hmm. I was expecting the \. to be an escaped period. Meaning that a
literal period is needed to make a match. The period in the rule string
should have no special regexp meaning and be satisfied only by a literal
period at that place in the test string. Did I get this wrong?
