... Why answer the same question which has been answered

waste the time?  Write and post a FAQ diff, if you feel the
need, and submit it to the Maintainer instead, if you feel you
have to do something.  Me, I tapped 'd' in pine.

By answering substantively the question, you reward such
behavior.  If you reward bad behavior, it will persist and
may increase.

The outbound part of the question is MTA dependant, and
procmail is not an MTA.  It is simply OT.

The inbound part is clearly discussed in the manpages,
respecting /etc/procmailrc

:0 c
       logfile

Add a 'w' for a backstop if you like ... but the broader issue
of legalities again are dependant on locality and policy --
again OT.
