You may want to consider running named for DNS, and using Squid as a proxy,
but that's up to you.

Just to let you know I don't use a procmail filter. I use fetchmail in
multidrop mode. Only one command to give in .fetchmailrc, so may be simpler.

Shouldn't need to recompile the kernel from a stock distribution. Also,
isn't it sendmail -q? Make sure you set sendmail options correctly to NOT
send mail immediately if you want this kind of control. I believe the
defaults send immediately.
