This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the "procmail"
mail-processing program written by Stephen van den Berg.

This package is currently maintained by Santiago Vila <sanvila@ctv.es>.
The source for this release was downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.procmail.org/pub/procmail/procmail-3.13.1.tar.gz

[ Note: Some CVS artifacts from the tarball have been removed to create
  the Debian .orig.tar.gz file ].

This package was first put together by Bruce Perens <bruce@hams.com>,
who added Debian GNU/Linux package maintenance system files, and
edited config.h to configure for Debian.

Two small patches, procmail-maildir.patch and procmail-locking.patch,
by Bruce Guenter, downloaded from:

http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~bguenter/distrib/procmail-maildir

have been applied.

The first patch adds Maildir support, and it was originally
written by Edward S. Marshall.

The second one eliminates the locking action for directory destinations
based on the fact that no directory delivery mechanism requires locking.
