Well, I meant that amongst all the rules one can write, mailer-daemon
filtering is one of the easiest rules.

I've cited procmail because this is the one I currently use (for
historical reasons). But procmail is very limited, and it is very
easy to make mistakes and to lose mail with it. It is not robust:
no integrated validation. After two critical mistakes, I eventually
wrote a procmailrc pseudo-validator in Perl (e.g., the syntax must
be consistent with the indentation, "* <" must be followed by a
number, etc.).
