... anybody not tied very tightly to procmail should really considering
'maildrop' (it's in the ports) as mailfilter.
- faster
- cleaner syntax
- native maildir support
- IMHO much more foolproof ;)
I was used to procmail for ages, but always hated it.
I took my chance for a switch to maildrop as I installed my new personal
workstation from scratch. In less than an hour I reimplemented my former
procmail-functionality and even extended it to automagically create
the maildir-folders for freebsd-related mailinglists as soon as the
first message from a mailinglist (I wasn't subscribed to) before arrives.
