Absolutely - makes a lot more sense now. Problem is that I'm not getting 
this pattern recognised.

Given I'm not a perl accolyte, can anyone tell me exactly what is the 
string we expect to get back in $report? In fact what comes back in 
$names too?

Is this stuff not documented anywhere or am I blind (or is Mimedefang 
one of these "It was hard to write, it should be bloody hard to 
understand" things?) :)
