Your sysadmin is a ninny.
Happily, however, the source for procmail is available
ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/
And, of course, Procmail is not required for simple archives. I am
running a number of archives on FLORA and do not have Procmail
installed. I can understand not wanting to install Procmail unless it's
needed - it's a great tool, but not necessary in this case as you can just
use Sendmail's (similar for all other mailer's) "|program" in the
/etc/aliases.
I do use a PERL wrapper to separate into monthly archives for a number of
lists, but this doesn't change the format of STDIN, just checks the date
and sets the command line to MHonArc appropriately.
