Yes, the OP made that pretty clear.
On first blush, it sounds like a bad idea. As a user, I might be
happily editing my .procmailrc, planning to enact it only once I think
it's somewhat useable ... or I might have just copied over the contents
of another home directory, which just happened to have this file in
there.
Yeah, I know the same arguments could be made for .forward ... but at
least I've always expected .forward to be used automagically.
Speaking of .forward, if I have a .forward with procmail in it, does
exim simply ignore this, or does it override exim's director? For
example, I have been using a .forward with contents
"|/usr/bin/procmail -p"
... has that -p argument been ignored this whole time?

Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please
don't email me directly. I will most likely see your post before I read
your mail, anyway.
