Ummmm, I'm not sure exactly what procmail is (it seems you are
referencing an existing program), but the concept you described is
EXACTLY what James is... in Java and XML... supports execution of an
external program (usually you write this in Java, but in theory you
could run an external program)... supports regexp, although we have a
matcher concept that's could support a regexp matcher, but for the time
being works more simply (while you can write Java code to do your own
matching)...
I'd invite you to read through the email archives for the past several
months and check out the latest code. (I'd say RTM, but we don't have
one.) What you describe is basically the whole point of this project...
