    Is it possible, and if so then how, to get procmail to mimic an

It's possible, but DON'T DO IT! I'm collecting links about the problems with this on my Procmail Quick Start in this section:

 Rejecting or "Bouncing Back" a Message

    Thanks.  And if anyone has a better idea I'm listening.

Nowadays lots of people use MTA-level rejects along with SpamAssassin and all its network tests. I'm sure other people on this list will have some good advice for you. I have some info about spam fighting at the "Reverse Spam Filtering" URL in my sig.

Hope this helps,
Nancy
