After reviewing the web site and the documentation, I had similar
thoughts.  I really just wanted to bounce it off the mailing list
community and see if I was missing something.

I am at the same spot.  I had a "wild hair" yesterday to go search
around for either a replacement, or to see if there were any efforts to
update procmail or fork it.  Sadly, nothing on the procmail/procmail
fork front.

I reviewed Sieve, Mail Drop and a couple of others.  PARP was one I had
not seen previously.

As dated as procmail is in its current state, there is still nothing
else out there that does as much as it does.

Again,  thank you for your reply,

Jerry
