 Procmail as Sendmail's Local Delivery Agent - Virtual Server
With procmail set as your local delivery agent for sendmail, you no longer need $HOME/.forward files to invoke procmail if you were using them before.
One respectable and simple solution is to use procmail as our local delivery agent.
This will unpack procmail and its helper programs in to ~/usr/local/bin.

 Set up e-mail filtering with procmail
Find out how to set up basic e-mail filtering in Linux with the procmail Mail Delivery Agent (MDA).
Procmail is a powerful Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) that can be used for any number of things including personal mail filtering, mail delivery on servers, and much more.
Many users have GUI e-mail clients that can read standard mbox files, but because of procmail's flexibility, they opt to use fetchmail and procmail to download and filter their mail rather than their e-mail client.

 Filtering E-Mail with Postfix and Procmail, Part Three
Procmail is a local mail delivery agent, meaning that its only job is to deliver mail to a local user mailbox.
Procmail can deliver mail to local mailboxes that are in mbox files, MH folders, or maildir folders, as well as sending messages to other e-mail addresses or local programs.
If you prefer that only certain users get Procmail for their local delivery agent, or if you are not the Postfix administrator, then you can set up.forward files to launch Procmail for specific users.

 Panix Help System - SpamAssassin
Procmail is a full-featured UNIX mail filtering system, based on "filter recipes" that you can write and call from a.procmailrc file in your home directory.
You might be running it from procmail, so check first.
When you call SpamAssassin from Procmail, you can set up a "user_prefs" file to change the point-value threshold for spam, specify whitelists and blacklists, and assign custom values to particular "hit types".

I subscribe to a number of mailing lists, and mutt is ideally suited to handling their traffic, in combination with procmail.
I highly recommend you check out my procmail page, and my.procmailrc, as I use mutt with procmail, and it really is the best way to handle mail.
For those of you who are already sold on mutt, here's a copy of my ~/.muttrc and my /etc/Muttrc to check out, maybe some stuff you wanna pinch...

 ITworld.com - UNIX SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION - Sending Messages to the Bit Bucket
If you have the procmail tool already set up, all you need to block email to your problematic account is create a profile (.procmailrc), a Procmail subdirectory, set up the file that sends mail from any sender to the bit bucket and make sure that procmail is invoked when the user receives email.
The any sender rule work even better than any subject because email can be sent without a subject line.
Removing an inactive mail account would be easy if you didn't have to worry about generating additional messages.

 ITworld.com - UNIX SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION - Sending Mail to the Bit Bucket
This week, our Unix sys admin expert reviews two simple solutions for filtering email down to the bit bucket, including an option that forgoes procmail completely.
The process involved creating a.forward file and piping the mail through a procmail filter that simply sent everything to /dev/null.
We will also look at a simpler solution, one that doesn't require procmail at all and uses only the.forward file to send all messages to the bit bucket.

Procmail can be used to create mail-servers, mailing lists, sort your incoming mail into separate folders/files (real convenient when subscribing to one or more mailing lists or for prioritising your mail), preprocess your mail, start any programs upon mail arrival (e.g.
In the fall of 1998, recognizing that he didn't have the time to maintain procmail on his own, Stephen created a mailing list for discussion of future development and deputized Philip Guenther as a maintainer.

 Filtering Mail FAQ
The procmail package of tools is at: ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/procmail.tar.gz If your sys admin isn't able to do this, use a different mail processor like mailagent (described in section 3 of this FAQ) or filter (described in section 4).
Note that you can use filter to filter your incoming mail even if you are not using Elm to read your mail.
Two versions are available: shell or C -- refer to the mailagent(1) manpage to choose, but I recommend you use the C version first, and move to the shell version if you can't run a binary from your.forward file.

 Philip's list for procmail warts
This is my partial list for procmail warts.
Arguably, procmail should continue to do that and if one or more non-directory mailboxes are included, procmail should perform separate deliveries to them.
Since this is an obvious solution, this entry should probably be on the todo list instead of the warts list, but I don't feel like placing it there yet.

 3.6 What mail delivery agent (MDA) does Postfix use?
The version of procmail which comes with Red Hat 6.2 is procmail-3.14-2.
Procmail is the default MDA on Red Hat and Postfix will use it just fine.
Postfix can be configured to use a different MDA if you like but why fight the flow?

 SpamCop procmail HOWTO
The second procmail rule basically says: Take all mail that comes in for any address that is not secret.address@tjw.org, save the attachments to /home/tjw/attachments, then send what's left of the message to tjw@spamcop.net.
The third procmail rule says: If any mail every comes to secret.address@tjw.org and it is NOT from spamcop, throw it away.
For this example assume that your home directory is /home/tjw, your secret email address (for spamcop) is secret.address@tjw.org, your spamcop.net address is tjw@spamcop.net and the directory where you will be saving attachments is /home/tjw/attachments
