Well, yes and no. You do have to contrive to hand a copy of the message to procmail, but if you do that it will happily file that copy away for you. I have mutt's sendmail setting set to a shell script that: - sends the message for real - copies the message to a few folders, usually =spool-out I have daemon script watching spool-out that hands messages found there to procmail using the spool-out/.procmailrc file. And lo, my messages are filed.
