Thanks. 

The old Mountain Lion versions work fine. I put them in /usr/local/bin (rather than /usr/bin) and made the appropriate changes to my Postfix configuration file and all the .procmailrc files (this is a home server for four family members - not a lot of work updating all users :-) ) and I should be good and immune from any further Apple changes.
