Dear Sir/ Madam,
      Could you tell me if procmail is Y2K compliance? Can it pass year
2000 without problems?
To quote Philip Guenther, (quoting the FAQ in the source tree of the
current version of procmail)
18. Both procmail and formail are Y2K compliant if your system's
        libraries are Y2K compliant.  In particular, they use the
        time_t type to hold the current time when it is needed and
        print out the time using the ctime() library routine.

The FAQ continues....
Individual recipes and rcfiles may need to be checked for
unsafe date handling.
HTH!
