So in theory procmail could be used to process outgoing mail?
I guess all procmail does is take in text, process it according to a
complex set of rules that you define in your .procmailrc and then output
slightly different text.

So either your MUA could be configured to send mail to the MTA via
procmail or your MTA could be configured to pass the mail through
procmail before it sends it on to the remote MTA?

Are there any valid uses for using procmail on outgoing mail?

Paul.
