If you are using exim you can edit /etc/exim.conf and insert:
In the "TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION" section:
procmail_pipe
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}"
In the "DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION" section:
procmail:
driver = localuser
transport = procmail_pipe
I _believe_ that in this instance (where procmail is run from within
exim that procmail will use a procmailrc file in /root and then a
.procmailrc file in the home directory of the user for whom the mail
is destined.
This scheme allow procmail to handle both sorting of mail from a single
source (ie: an ISP POP account) to different users based upon whatever
criteria the sysadm chooses as well as sorting of a single users
mail to separate folders (based upon whatever rules that user might
want to use (and includes copying, forwarding, etc.).
