Don't use it.  It neglects to filter the body through bogofilter,
doesn't do unsure treatment or error recovery.

Where did you find it? Please tell the author of the site to correct it
or take it down, and please Cc: me; if it's somewhere in the official
bogofilter pages (www.bogofilter.org or bogofilter.sourceforge.net),
just follow up on this post and we'll correct it.

WRT delivery, check the procmailrc(5) man page, the trailing /. is
special to procmail.
