Can someone please explain how to use procmail to filter outbound 
email?  I've heard about this [rumour] a few times and would like 
to at least dispell with the mythology and see what can be done 
with this for real.

In a customary configuration it cannot -- procmail is part of 
the mail _Delivery_ agent side, although it is possible to 
torture the outbound MTA into running offerings through a 
procmail handler.

The sendmail 'milter' hooks, or an inward pointing
'messagewall' are more direct ways to that end.
