procmail is an email server software component — specifically, a message delivery agent (MDA). It was one of the earliest mail filter programs. It is typically used in Unix-like mail systems, using the mbox and Maildir storage formats.

procmail was first developed in 1990, by Stephen R. van den Berg.[1] Philip Guenther took over maintainership for a number of years, but relinquished the role in 2014.[2] The software remained unmaintained for several years, and was believed to be defunct.[3] In 2020 May, Stephen van den Berg resumed maintenance again.[4] The program has since seen multiple releases and bug-fixes.
