procmail works for local and external, it's just how it's set up. sendmail
uses it and it works for me outside and inside.
I can email my machine at home with a IP request and it'll return my reply.
So external works.

Assuming the MTA is sendmail... What about Smail, Qmail, Exim...

Although procmail really only works for local deliveries - so only local
accounts are protected. What if this is a pass-thru mail spool (ie - mail
is delivered elsewhere, not delivered locally.
The scripts handle this as-is, without interfering with the MTA or the
local delivery agent.
