In my procmail log for each message I have a subject,
the number of lines for the message, and which folder

a timestamp for each message/action?

        In following you don't need to bother procmail with
        times and save the TRAP:

1> From the command line:
mkfif /var/log/FIFOPROCMAILLOG


2>  In /etc/syslog.conf
local4.*    /var/log/proclog

        (TAB not spaces)


3> A shell script runs from boot.

while true
do
        cat /var/log/FIFOPROCMAILLOG | logger -i -p local4.debug
done


4>  In /etc/procmailrc:
LOGFILE=/var/log/FIFOPROCMAILLOG


        Now, you have log in syslog format where some filters know
        annalize and parse.
