Hi
I disagree that it's impossible if you don't attempt to build something too
complicated - look at what's irritating your users and seek to kill that first.
I'm completing a GUI for my sub-host users (who cannot be allowed server
access)
They login (to identify which directory to use) then input to a form the
specific phrases they want to exclude e.g. "adult website", "low-cost
mortgages". Perl inserts the *(^|[^0-9a-z])$item([^0-9a-z]|\$) etc. before
writing to the user's own procmailrc.
It's running fine under test and am adding online recovery from a 30-day
archive, so there's minimal intervention needed.
Incidentally, a local big ISP here is now using spam assassin (or similar)
and charging nearly $25 including taxes A MONTH for uncontrolled filtering
with no provision for recovery. That's a nice little revenue stream -
depending upon how many mailboxes you host - for some programming which
needs no maintenance, if you set it up right.

Questions like this have been asked a number of times, and the answer
I've seen a few times (and come up with myself when I looked at doing
it) was that writing a GUI (whether PHP or Perl CGI or whatever) to
allow configuration of all the possible subtleties of a procmail recipe
was durn near impossible.
The easiest way to give your users the ability to control their own
.procmailrc is to point them at the procmail man pages, and give them
FTP access to their home directory.

If you are really worried about the lack of a GUI, then by all means
write one. And if you don't want to write one, and you can't find
something appropriate in the plethora of PHP script libraries out there,
I'm sure you'll have little difficulty finding a freelance programmer
who will be willing to quote on some custom development for you.
