    I switched from Procmail to Perl solution and from that to Maildrop.
    It's very nice to use, and even the more complicated parts of my Perl
    setup were easily translated because of Maildrop's GDBM support.

    I wouldn't use Procmail anymore because its syntax is an insult, but
    Maildrop is also more powerful. A translation of my old Procmail
    filters I did (before finding and using the Perl tool) only took a
    couple of minutes.

    I never used anything more than reformail, so I'm not sure about that.
