I admit that I don't use procmail, but rather clamav.  These messages never
see my inbox, or any other, and that's one of the (indespensible, to me)
benefits of running my own mail server.  While there's no guarantee, of
course, I've not found anything yet that it doesn't handle.  Virus-free
email, incoming and outgoing - gotta love it.
