Nope, you could also use a *good* MDA instead of Procmail. Which shows

You're presuming 2 things.
1: The person has access to install a decent MDA on said machine.
2: The person has access at ALL to configure said MDA in the first place.
Also you, and others, seem to be presuming a third thing which simply is
not true.
3: Having internal filtering does not preclude using external filtering.
I'm all for the modular approach. However I do not nor ever will
subscribe to the theory that an email client has absolutely no business
bringing in, filtering, sending out and maintaining the data which is its
primary function. I see all of those as part and parcel of a decent client
and any client which does not incoporate those basic functions is deficient.
Because without those basic functions one is locked into a single path of
doing things which is contrary to the Unix way.
