Quote from the page above - seems to be old and, to put it mildly,
wrong:
"procmail is unmaintained. The "Final release", according to
Wikipedia, dates back to September 10, 2001 (3.22)"
Status today according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procmail
Excerpt:
"The software remained unmaintained for several years, and was
believed to be defunct.[3] In 2020 May, Stephen van den Berg resumed
maintenance again.[4] The program has since seen multiple releases and
bug-fixes."
Here seems to be the current maintainer site:
https://github.com/BuGlessRB/procmail
And see the HISTORY file in that dir ...
And even the Openbsd guys, with their interest in "proactive
security", have it in their latest release:

Welcome! ... ;)
