Well, a friend and I are having this argument about what is procmail 
written in, I say it is an interface to some shell scripts. 

Alan 's page mentions something about it being a" paclage of fairly small
and efficient mail handling programs: procmail, formail, lockfile, etc "
that wasnt very descriptive etc. 


procmail, formail, and lockfile are written in C.  A procmailrc may make
arbitrary calls out to other programs or the shell, but procmail itself
is definately written in C.

You could have always actually looked at the source yourself and made an
educated guess from that.
