Shh, don't tell anyone, but I'm still running 2.0 on my main box at home, and
I consider myself a developer. :)

In any case, I'm using procmail package on that box to sort out my
email.  I get from 200-400 messages a day, and I haven't had a lick of
trouble.  Are you using the pre-compiled package, or did you build it
yourself?
