One of my ISPs is pair.com and there seem to be a number of
people there who really scorn procmail. This message, which is
now on the web here
<http://www.nemeton.com.au/rants/procmail.txt>

not a C programmer, I don't know if he's correct when he says
this:

The implementaion in C is abysmal and is just as unreliable and
insecure as you would expect of any C code that doesn't check
return codes from system and library calls and uses fixed size
buffers with no bounds checking. (Core dumps? Check. CERT
advisory? Check.)
Aside from the execrable quality, the orginal author confuses
mail envelope addresses with mail header addresses,

What do you all think -- does this guy have some valid complaints
about procmail or is he ranting unjustifiably?
Thanks,
Nancy
