I use procmail as a major component of my largest server, and it
usually works well. I like it's syntax for specifying rules (it makes
a lot of sense to me). HOWEVER, procmail has several major problems
that make it unreliable (most notably, it can get in situations where
it will fail to deliver mail but will report success, and thus mail
will disappear), and if I was starting over today, I'd probably learn
maildrop. Maildrop's syntax is more verbose, and a bit strange to
anyone coming from procmail, but if only because it's more reliable,
I'd recommend it instead of procmail (even though I haven't used it
extensively).
