Install the procmail-lib package. Has many good examples. I use this for
my pgp reply script:


:0
* ^Subject:.*pgpkey
* ! ^FROM_DAEMON
* $ ! ^X-Loop: $MY_ADDR
{
    # Save a copy just in case
    :0 c:
    pgp.requests

    :0 fhw
    | formail  -rI"Subject: PGP Key Request: Michael Beattie <mickyb@es.co.nz>" \
                -I"From: Michael Beattie <$MY_ADDR>" \
		-I"Precedence: junk" \
		-I"X-Loop: $MY_ADDR" \
                -I"Mime-Version: 1.0" \
                -I"Content-Type: application/pgp; format=keys-only" \
                -I"Content-Description: PGP Key: Michael Beattie <mickyb@es.co.nz>" \
                -I"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" 

    :0 fbw
    | cat - ; sh -c "pgp -kxaf $MY_ADDR 2>/dev/null"

    :0 efbw
    | cat - ; echo "Sorry, my PGP key is not available at the moment."
