Procmail is not an mta; it's an email filter.  It's usually launched
from the .forward file, but you can configure sendmail to use procmail
as the default local mail delivery agent, or you can run it standalone
(procmail < message.txt) if you don't want it to be part of the mail
delivery process at all.
