What's the difference between a filter recipe and a delivering one?

A filter modifies the input stream and passes it on, for example a filter might
remove some header lines, or add header lines, or change attachments.

A delivering recipe actually delivers the message somewhere, either to a local
file, or a remote user, or pass it to another program to deliver the message.


And what
does the file extension: .rc signify with Procmail?

.rc is just a typical extension for configuration files, you can name your
procmail files any way you want.
