Is there any way for procmail to deliver to a computed or dynamically

The lack of loops in the procmailrc "language" makes "no" the obvious
answer, but I thought there might be a trick the assembled experts know.
The absence of explicit loops does not mean you cannot
'munged' a X header inside an emai, and then send the result
back into the top of the procmail process by simply re-sending
to your self, of course
Sending the message to yourself is B A D idea!
Also, you can pipe the message to procmail like this:
| /usr/bin/procmail -p
but it is again B A D idea.
The keyword search for loops in procmail is "recursive" read the
man procmailrc(1)

This is a so-called 'forward reference resolution problem. We
need not face it, usually, with some planning

This builds a three month lookback pile of spam compiled by
day, that I can paw through using 'egrep' (I had an electronic
payment notification email from a person lost in such
recently)
