It doesn't let unfiltered mail enter your mailbox as though it was all
non-spam, and editing procmailrc isn't necessarily safe in a life
system.

If editing was safe,

:0
{EXITCODE=75 HOST}

as first recipe in procmailrc would work. But this may cause mail
arriving during the edits (or saving them) to be filtered in the wrong
way.

Before anyone talks about TXN headaches, let's talk about procmail
headaches. :)
