Maybe you can issue your procmail command through your pop client,
check your pop client. Or, if you do pop, then check your mail, do
something like;
alias pine "procmail command ; pine"
: Or can I pipe popclient's output to sendmail/procmail?
popclient command | procmail command
^ this means "pipe output from this command into the
next"
