Actually, it also depends on the particular configuration of your MTA, not
just which one is running. (Sendmail *can* be configured to automatically
look for procmailrc, but that doesnt mean an administrator couldnt
configure it otherwise)

The best reponse here is "See your sysadmin", unless of course, thats you,
in which case "read the documentation for procmail and for your MTA"..
