    maildropfilter(5):

       RETURNCODE
              This variable is set when maildrop runs the xfilter
              command,  or  a  command  that's specified within a
              pair of backtick characters ( command  substitution
              ).  The RETURNCODE variable will be set to the exit
              code of the command, after it completes.

    nice :) this would make it a bit more readable (I don't know it
    that's feasible :)

        sed -E 's;^.* (.)u;/\1in/;'
