I was looking into Procmail and found the official website at
procmail.org. I noticed that the last update was way back in 2001. Is Procmail still being actively developed? Is it considered a fully matured tool that has no active need for development? Is there something new that has largely replaced it? |

But it really is a very stable piece of software. If you look at the history file it has about 16 years of history behind it. I've been using it for about 8 years or so. It's one of those packages just works and you never worry about. There are other solutions out there that duplicate what procmail does, but oftentimes they require more memory/processing power. It has a quirky syntax, but procmail is fast, specialized, and simple. |
