🌸 PROC2MA(1) — the user contributed perl documentation moment 🌸

okay bestie, so you know how there's a manual page called PROC2MA(1)? yeah. that's this. it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe and it's lowkey iconic. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

proc2ma

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.228 ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, this program is literally here to help the girlies migrating from procmail to Mail::Audit. it reads in your procmail .rc files and spits out a first approximation of a Mail::Audit filter that does the same filtering. it's giving ✨glow-up✨.

you'll have to edit it yourself, of course — it's not doing all the work for you, bestie, it's giving first draft energy. and there's still a LOT it can't do, ngl. but it'll give you a good start 🫶

✨ NAME ✨ (yes again, we love a double reveal 👑)

proc2ma — Procmail to Mail::Audit migrator. periodt.

✨ USAGE ✨

proc2ma .procmailrc > filter.pl

that's it. that's the whole vibe. redirect it into a file and you've got yourself a filter.pl 🦋

✨ VERSION ✨

0.02

(the duality of versions... she contains multitudes 💀)

✨ BUGS ✨

Infinite 😭

like, not "a few bugs", not "some bugs" — Infinite. she said what she said. infinite bugs, no cap. treat her accordingly 🙈
