Does anybody know of a way to use procmail's functionality on a mail
relay with no local delivery?  Our mail comes into a sendmail machine, 
which then relays it to our internal Exchange machines.  I'd like to 
use procmail on the sendmail machine to fight spam and virii.

Sounds like you'd need some sort of tandem setup (two mail servers
talking to each other, or two mail queues, or something), although the
most recent Sendmail has some promising Perl hooks you could use to
hook in Procmail at an arbitrary point.

obSpellingBee: "virii" is not a word; it sounds like the Latin plural
of "virius" but that word doesn't exist as far as I know (and if it
does, it doesn't mean what you meant :-) ... the correct Latin plural
is irrelevant anyway; the correct English plural is "viruses".
