Wonder if anyone is still using Procmail/Formail under 6.8 for presorting

Also wondering if folks send the remainimg mail, after filtering, to
/var/mail/*user*, or to ~/mbox or to ~mail/mbox. Any advantage to be had,
or any mere consensus, regardless of advantages?
I also use whitelisting extensively, and any such "From: emailaddresses"
get priority. Does anyone else?
Myself: Having problems with Procmail/formail, after upgrading from 5.3 to
a new server running 6.8. Would like to hear of anyone else's experience.

Hi,
I am using procmail under 6.8 successfully. I did have problems with it
when upgrading to (I think) 6.4.
If you look for the mail list archives for "OpenBSD 6.4 smtpd local mail
delivery missing "From " when .forward (procmail)"
My .procmailrc:
"|/usr/local/bin/procmail -f -"
Not sure if this is your problem or not. But I have quite a large
.procmailrc file (200 lines) that makes a historical archive of every
incoming email, filtering maillist emails, etc.
Thanks,
Steve W.
