Is this possible? I want to use fetchmail to download from several POP3
mail accounts, process it through procmail to separate the spam (using
SpamBouncer to be more specific), and then forward to an Exchange
server. I have the fetchmail to Exchange forwarding working, but how
can I get procmail to filter the mail in this case?

You have to be able to send mail from your box, using "mail" or such like.
I.e. you have to have sendmail or postfix (I recommend postfix) installed
(but not running) so you can send.

Other than that, you use a regular procmail recepie, deliver the mail
to your address on your Exchange server. You put a "!" at the
start of the line in front of the
mail addresses you want to forward to in place of a mailbox name.

I don't think you can use procmail. However, you can still probably use
spambouncer. Set up your "mda" as spambouncer piped to sendmail. For
instance, I use the following option to filter mail through
spamassassin:
mda "spamc | /usr/sbin/sendmail %T"

Zelda or David, with such a wealth software out there I'd be surprised
there wasn't a solution. One off the wall one I've seen but not tried is
IMGate. URL -> http://imgate.meiway.com/index.cfm .
