Even on my sendmail system, I use milters instead of using procmail's
invocation. And since my mailbox is in MBOX format, and my other emails
are stored directly  under evolution's mail directories (either as
Mildir or mbox), procmail use to send direct is not recommended. (I
tried and then evo screws up of sorts)
