Another item I've run into with procmail is that it requires VM space
larget than the size of the message.
That's fine with normal mail messages, but not when people use it as an
ftp substitute to send 40 MB attachments.
Using procmail to only deliver to people with .procmailrc files seems like
the best solution in my case.

one doesn't know what one can't do!
