I'll agree with another poster:  if a thing still works, age is not
sufficient reason to throw it away.

That said:  I used procmail for some years, but switched to maildrop
because I found it quite a bit easier to configure -- and I have a lot
of configuration.  Worth considering if you decide to look around.
Converting the rules was tedious but not terribly difficult.

As someone else noted, sieve is also promising.  I also have not tried
it yet.

I've only just now heard of fdm, so I don't know anything against
it. :-/
