All the recipes I've seen here (or elsewhere on the 'net) appear to be

uses $HOME/.procmailrc.
It is my belief that those who would utilize procmail in /etc/procmail are
going to be people who realize the dangerous potential it has if they
implement something incorrectly there, and since only the sysadm can
produce such a file, it doesn't apply to the average user.
Having mesed up my own .procmailrc recipes already I'm very wary of doing
anything with /etc/procmail (from which you might glean that I'm also
sysadmin here). My most ignoble mistake was to munge the headers of this
list to put a Reply-to: in and then get the address wrong.
friends ... noncomputer-literate ...
I suggest you upgrade to smarter friends who can cope with email addresses
or resend things to the PROPER address when they get a regular system
bounce. <g>
They're already smart having doctorates in theology and cancer research so
if I got rid of then there'd be no one doing useful work for me to get
email from (present company excepted). :-)
