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?

Anders actually meant to have a . AFTER the 2, not before.

Ah, yes, "slight" typo there. Thanks for correcting it :)
