I want to set up my procmail so that all mail that comes into my address

how to do this. Can someone help me with this?
In the .procmailrc for the account foo(_at_)example(_dot_)com (the poor sod who owns
bar.com must get a LOT of spam...):
:0
* 9876543210^0 ^Content-Type:[ ]*multipart/mixed
* 9876543210^0 B ?? ^Content-Type:[ ]*application
!new(_at_)example(_dot_)com
A few things to note though - procmail doesn't parse mime, so just because
there's a Content-Type: in the body doesn't mean it's a VALID mime
construct -- it could be an email discussing mail formatting (say, on this
very list). The use of scoring (see 'man procmailsc') is to allow an
explicit OR operation - either condition can match - both don't have to.
IME, the multipart/mixed in the message headers should catch most
everything that has an "attachment" per-se -- HOWEVER, that includes some
forms of HTML mail (though many of those should be
multipart/alternative). If you wanted to increase the scope, eliminate the
"/mixed" from the end of the condition line. The second, matching a
content-type containing application should catch a number of program types
specifically, but even those should normally arrive as a multipart/mixed at
the outer MIME layer.
Run this in a sandbox against a corpus of received email messages and then
check the ones which it might fail to match, and adjust as appropriate. I
have _NOT_ tested it - this is just off the cuff.
