Huh? What'd you need that for? Just fire up procmail from the command
line and feed it a test message.
Suppose while I am testing, legitimate mail comes in
asynchronously? At some time or other I need to test a new or changed
recipe on *real* mail with my real procmail, not just some command-line
execution, as testing (or forethought) does not always cover all the
bases. Using an up-front backup during testing ensures that no
legitimate mail is lost.
