Re: traceback in my tmdadebug, not to sure what to look for...

First, you should notice that the actual error message is this:

	MatchError: [line  8]: "from-file": missing or bogus <action> field

When you say "here is a typical incoming filter file" is this the
file that is actually causing the error?  If so, then the error is
related to this line:

	from-file -autocdb ~/.tmda/lists/whitelist DELOK

If not, then are you certain that the you've not got a spelling
error on the particular line that's causing this error.

If you're sure that everything is spelled right, try replacing the
macro, e.g:

	from-file -autocdb ~/.tmda/lists/whitelist deliver=~/.maildir/

See if that causes the error to repeat.  Let me know what happens.

Cheers,
- Mark
