Even the last maintainer advises against using it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procmail ``Procmail is stable, but no longer maintained.[1] Users who wish to use a maintained program are advised by procmail's author, Philip Guenther,[2] to use an alternative tool.'' ``Procmail was an early example of a mail filtering tool and language. Procmail is no longer maintained and has unfixed security vulnerabilities. Procmail's last maintainers suggest using alternative tools.'' Given FreeBSD's philosophy re: dead ports, I guess it will be removed soon. With a mailserver facing the Internet, the last thing I need are security vulnerabilities... -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
