| that's cool. how would you add non-list related options -- e.g. bogofilter
| stanzas? Can procmail chainload rcfiles?
I don't think procmail has an include facility, but cats2procmailrc
does, see the home page. You can include other 1-line-rule files and
also raw procmailrc files.
I used to include the bogofilter and spamassassin stuff here, but now
I actually do my spam filtering in an entirely separate scheme before
the main procmailrc fires off.
I use getmail to deliver directly to a "spool" folder, and a shell
daemon watches that and spamfilters into "spam" and "spool-in". Another
daemon watches "spool-in" and hands to procmail with the autogenerated
.procmailrc mentioned above.
If you're using bogofilter you might be interested in using a RAM disc
to speed it up (it's very data integrity minded, at a huge speed
penalty); my approach is written up here:

No, but if you kept a core config file somewhere it might be doable.
I don't know of any tools for this myself.
