For years I've maintained a shell account because I wanted to have access
to Procmail... now I read that it is possible to run procmail under
Cygwin and just wonder if anyone else has experience doing this.

I have been running procmail (and fetchmail) very successfully under
Cygwin (on NT 4.0 and 2000) for about a year.  There have been some
bumps along the way, but I have reached a confidence level where I'm
comfortable contributing them to the standard Cygwin distribution.

Although I have never run Cygwin under XP, I don't see why procmail
would have any problem in this environment.  In fact the first Cygwin
procmail port that I found was running under 98:
