Procmail is for processing mail, otherwise it'd be called
filtmail. :-) Although, it's for processing mail automatically, so I'm
not sure you'll get it to do what you want -- but it's certainly
capable of doing much more than filtering mail. :-)
In any case, I wouldn't put a whole lot of trouble into what you're
doing. The spammers don't care about bounces; whether an address
bounces or just isn't read is just another "non-sale" to them. Taking
addresses out of their list because it bounces is work that doesn't
produce results.
