the procmail example in linux-sxs

I've got my procmail sort of working.

1. if I want all users to use one prcomailrc, does it mean that I only 
need to put a procmail file in /etc? Right now, I have a .forward and 
.procmailrc in /home/user.

2. is it silly using procmail to catch spam by actually reading and 
hence understanding the message body?

3. So I only need to download the filter from the supplied URL and it 
would be working without additional changes needed?

# these two are for the junkmail program (http://junkfilter.zer0.org)
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
JFDIR=$HOME/.procmail

# where does possible spam go for our later review
JUNKMAIL=/var/mail/nobody

# the null device for things we know are spam
NULL=/dev/null

# where should procmail

# ---- Call junkfilter ----
# this is how to use multiple procmail rule files
INCLUDERC=$JFDIR/junkfilter
