Look at the manpages for procmailrc and procmailex. You shouldn't need to
detect the whitespace at the beginning, though.
* name=.*\.(your|list|of|extentions)
I'd think that would work, but that might be too vague.
I was hoping '[:space:]' would work, but didn't see anything like that in
the manpages.
Did you try '\t' for tab rather than '\b' for word break?
There's probably a procmail howto on the LDP.
