The attachment contains some rudimentary documentation. Refinements
are welcomed.

Implementing procmail on a sendmail 8.8.8 gateway:
(Note: This is still undergoing testing and refinement)

1. Add the following delivery agent:

Mprocmail,      P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=DFMmShu, S=11/31, R=21/31, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                A=procmail -m MAIL_FROM="$_" MAIL_TO="$u" $h

   [TAB]---^


2. Add the following to ruleset 0:

# pipe through procmail for processing
R$*<@example.com>$*     $#procmail $@/etc/procmail/filter.rc $:$1 at example.com.procmail$2
R$*<@$*.procmail>$*     $1<@$2>$3

   [TAB]-------------^
Vary the domain name and script name (/etc/procmail/filter.rc) for your needs.


3. Here is a sample filter.rc file:

#
# procmail rules to filter mail on a gateway
#

LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
NL="
"
LOGABSTRACT=no

POISONED_EXECUTABLES=/etc/procmail/poisoned
INCLUDERC=/etc/procmail/html-trap.procmail

:0
* ^From:.+\/[^ ,]+@[^ ,]+
{
        FROM="$MATCH"
}

:0                              # pass along all other mail
! -oi -f "$FROM" "$MAIL_TO"
