procmail v3.11pre7 1997/04/28 written and created by Stephen R. van den Berg

As of this writing version 3.11pre7 is the latest version
available. Don't let the "pre" scare you away. It's been in use for a
long time and is considered quite stable.
Make sure you're running at least version 3.10 as there were major
syntax changes at 3.10. This tutorial assumes you're running at least 3.10.Most systems today have procmail available. Increasingly, some systems even use then as their Mail Delivery Agent. More on that later. If you don't have procmail you can get the latest from ftp://uiarchive.uiuc.edu/pub/packages/mail/procmail/
This tutorial does not cover how to set up procmail on a system. RTFM. =)
