Why? Just because a lot of people use procmail to block spam doesn't
mean that's the only reason it exists. Many people (myself included)
use it for other purposes. If this was the spamblocker mailing list,
you'd have a point. I think this statement is reflective of the growing
assumptions that 1) procmail is a spam filter, and 2) this is an anti
spam mailing list.

I do too, but much of the talk on this list is devoted to using procmail
as a spam filter, and that is probably what it is used most for.
