Is Procmail dead for most of you guys(ducking)
procmail is ancient, and has had known quality issues for much of the
time. Consider maildrop as a more powerful and more maintained
replacement that is pretty easy to implement:

Warren,
Thanks for the pointer to another of your excellent short tutorials.
I note that you discuss sendmail's /etc/mail/hostname.mc
file and how to reset local_procmail. First, there is
movement afoot to remove sendmail from FreeBSD and replace
it with dma(1). Second, a number of people probably do as
I do, and invoke procmail from a .forward file.
% cat ~/.forward
"|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f-"
Do you know if maildrop can be used in a similar way? I
suppose I have some reading to do.
I have not used a .forward file in a long time, but certainly it can be
done... found this in http://www.postfix.org/MAILDROP_README.html:
/home/you/.forward:
"|/path/to/maildrop -d ${USER}"
My impression of maildrop is that it has a superset of procmail's
abilities, but with easier syntax and easier but more powerful PCRE
regexes.
