That works perfectly... Thanks!

I'd overlooked that -s had an optional argument with formail - and while
I'd realised I probably wanted procmail to deliver messages, I hadn't
realised that I could have separate configurations as easily as that.

I'm surprised this example is neither one of the convenient examples in
the man procmailex man page... nor widely cited in the online howtos
I've seen.
