[Mimedefang] email wire tap

[Matthew Schumacher]

I call procmail in filter mode to do this because I didn't want to deal 
with the mailbox locking issues when trying to write email to a file 
from a mimedefang filter.  I also wanted mbox format which procmail does 
very well.

Another reason for this is the mail headers are not absolutely complete 
when the milter is called so mimedefang doesn't see the last received 
header which I wanted to capture anyway.

If you already use procmail for your LDA then this is trivial, but I am 
using the cyrus LDA.

As far as the performance hit goes, there is some, but I would MUCH 
rather call procmail than non persistent perl.
