Even the last maintainer advises against using it:

``Procmail was an early example of a mail filtering tool and language.
Procmail is no longer maintained and has unfixed security

tools.''
Given FreeBSD's philosophy re: dead ports, I guess it will be removed
soon.
With a mailserver facing the Internet, the last thing I need are security
vulnerabilities...

Yeah, I did
use a Procmail filter for that, but Procmail is dead. I
must take a closer look at Sieve.
Please don't tell my (zombie?) Procmail that. I've got thousands 2300
lines of Procmail that I'm still happily using every single day.
I keep bumping into Sieve. I've not had a reason to migrate to it yet.
