My preference for fresh installs is maildrop rather than procmail. It
does "the right thing" for many situations where procmail's default
behaviour is -- uhm, putting it mildly -- annoying, and the maildrop
configuration files, .mailfilter, are easier to read than .procmailrc
files.

Personally, I'm training it manually, but it's mostly a matter of
preference and how you'd like to do such things and what mailer you use.
