Heh... I'm an old procmail user, and was happy to be able to switch back
to it from sieve (which I never really got the hang of), when moving
from cyrus to dovecot.

But I'm not sure if I'd ever *recommend* it to someone else.

On a side note: the exim default config of debian (and debian
derivatives, like Ubuntu), uses procmail for filtering and delivery if
it is available, and there is a .procmailrc file in the users' home
directories.
