Is procmail still widely used? It has its own non-autoconf build
configuration system, and it's not easily fixed because it assumes that
implicit function declarations are supported: sources with multiple
functions are compiled (but not linked), and those functions that
produce diagnostics are flagged as unsupported (or so I assume).
I'm inclined towards building procmail in C89 mode for Fedora.
Thanks,
Florian

According to [1], I'd say yes: currently, ca. 6300 Debian users use it regularly.

Cc a maintainer.
(Stephen, this mailing list discusses modernizing C code (see https://lwn.net/Articles/913505/))
(Looking at the issue tracker, items like https://github.com/BuGlessRB/procmail/issues/1 are tracked.)
(I used Maildir and offlineimap long time ago, but nowadays it's too
difficult to keep doing these stuff locally...)
