Folks, a subject like "real Newbie Question!" is totally useless.  I
don't care how basic you think your question is, please put a subject
on your message that's at least mildly descriptive of the _content_ of
the question.

I am using the procmail that came with slackware 2.0.27, version 3.10.
Is there any newer versions of procmail.  And would I want/need to
upgrade to the new version.

Yes, there's a newer version version out.  It's still marked as a
'pre-release', but Stephen's pre-releases are stabler than many
packages final releases.  3.10 has several serious bugs in it, so
I would suggest upgrading to 3.11pre7.  While it's compiling you can
read the HISTORY file for a list of all the changes.  procmail's home
location is:

        ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/

Since you describe yourself as a newbie, you may want to check out the
procmail (not so) Mini-FAQ at:
