I'd agree we should pull the plug on the package. We'll be in for the
usual "but it works for me" screaming of the irresponsible people who
don't care (and most of them won't know that they need to write the
exception/error handling themselves in their .procmailrc recipes).

Sunpoet, can we mark the port as deprecated given that even the upstream
once said it should best be abolished? I can't find the reference now,
the procmail.org website displays "Site hosting in transit, information
will be back up shortly."
FWIW procmail.org has shown that banner since 2015-11 (november, 2015).
A safe bet, that they won't be changing that anytime soon. :-)
