I think so... make sure you add the trailing / to the maildir names
so procmail knows its a maildir mail box.
If you set the DEFAULT variable in your procmail recipe then mail that
isn't caught by another rule will go there.
I'm not sure if you were asking about this, but the default exim
install runs procmail on all of a user's mail if a .procmailrc file
exists in his home directory.
