Maildrop is a popular alternative.



Some more delivery agents are listed in the Wikipedia article below. 
They may not all filter or modify messages.




There's also GNU mailutils, which includes tools to retrieve, filter, 
and deliver mail.

Debian continues to make security/maintenance patches to Procmail:

https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/p/procmail/procmail_3.22-26_changelog

So, I hear of lots of people still using it on Debian and derivatives.
But yes, avoid excessively old/unpatched versions of Procmail.

Maildrop is a popular alternative.
