I'm working at the next part of the virtual domains mail server. I'm moving this account (raanders@acm.org is a forwarder) which has a bunch of procmail rules to file into folders.
My question is if it is more efficient is use?
if { ... } elsif { ... } elsif { ... } else
This seems to be the way many of the example scripts do it but I found at least one that used
if { ... }
if { ... }
Which is more procmail like and for me reads easier.
If not here where should I ask?
Well, both accomplish different things. In the first example, one and only one of the conditions will be executed. In the second one, more than one could possibly be executed.
I've never looked at Sieve's code, but the first will stop at the first matching condition. In the second case, because you could make it do more than one thing, it must check each condition.
