Yeah, this is an issue. I guess you could write a fairly simple web interface to create/read/edit a procmail script using simple recipes. Putting this into RC seems a little in the wrong place to me, but I can understand the need. But again, I'd probably try and opt for a

webmail packages offer this - I've only used squirrelmail and RC, so I don't have wide experience really.

In such a case RC would simply offer a tool for editing - wouldn't the .procmail be valid if you would use another mail client?

This is true, but typically RC will be able to read/write from a user's mail directory and not from their home directly. Procmail reads it configuration typically from a user's home directory (~/.procmailrc) which RC wouldn't be able to write to, not at the moment anyway. Allowing RC to write to a user's home directory opens up some other potential security issues I'd imagine.

Perhaps there could be an option that you can enable for procmail integration where you have to set each user's .procmailrc to be writable by RC or something.

Interesting idea... I'm no expert in PHP, so I don't really know where to start... perhaps make it a feature suggestion on trac?
