The procmailrc man page says about the 'f' qualifier:

This is a fine piece of UnixWizardSpeak,

The concept of "filter" is certainly not Unix "wizard" speak.  Rather it is
elementary Unix User terminology.

I strongly suggest you obtain an "introduction to Unix" book, and digest
that before attempting Procmail.  Procmail is a very useful tool, but does
require that you understand basic unix concepts.

Good luck....
