Actually, this is quite a popular topic on the FreeBSD lists.  A few
moments searching a http://freebsd.rambler.ru/ will get you such handy
messages as:

    http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-questions_2003/msg11082.html

    http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-isp_2001/msg01947.html

or

    http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-chat_2002/msg01762.html

But note that Cyrus deliver has a built in 'sieve' function which will
do a lot of what procmail does, and it has a remote interface which is
handy when you want to set up a mail server box without giving login
accounts to all of your mail users.

	Cheers,
