I think that one of the things that up and coming Linux admins are supposed to do is write a "Procmail is dead" article and post it somewhere. It sure seems like it there's enough of them out there. Procmail isn't dead. However, the Procmail website is simply in an awful and atrocious state. It has been at least a half a decade since the server the website is on stopped hosting the distro, which is frankly ridiculous. OK I get that the domain owner doesn't want to spring the money for the bandwidth but there are better ways to handle it than an HTTP error. I also get that the domain owner isn't interested in fixing his HTML. OK whatever. There's a lot of distributions that include Procmail and lots and lots of people using it. There's still people writing patches for it for their distros. Yes it lacks a maintainer which is a shame. But it is even more shameful that RedHat and the other pay distributions aren't stepping up and picking up maintenance of it
frankly in times of LMTP and Sieve there is hardly a need to use procmail - it is used because "i know it and it just works" - so why should somebody step in and maintain it while nobody is forced to use it
