Impractical
This tip is totally impractical since you have to rebuild your email box every time you read mail. It takes quite a while to rebuild my mailbox. And mail.app will no longer automatically put up the little red dot to alert you to incoming mail.Of course you could use PINE or some command line mail program, but that would be a huge step in the wrong direction.
Not a security risk
Procmail is not a "local mail system". It doesn't introduce any new security risks. It's syntax is bizarre and idiosyncratic, however, so using it's more advanced features is not for the faint of heart.
procmail is not a security risk
Chas, procmail is a local delivery agent (LDA), it cannot send email and it cannot receive it either, all it can do is deliver it. It does not listen on any port for network connections. It cannot act as an open mail relay. |
