Just out of curiosity; I'm using Exim as MTA and Mutt (of course)
as MUA. Procmail filters incoming mail into different mailboxes 
and kills spam from known addresses. Still, I haven't set up
~/.forward. I only have ~/.procmailrc, which calls for another file,
which is the recipe file itself. 

So, is it really necessary to create ~/.forward in order to use
Procmail, or is it just Exim, who notices if there's Procmail in
use?
