hummm, I think the MDA (procmail) need to be exec as root. maybe in your
/etc/postfix/main.cf you have set "default_privs = nobody" and nobody have
not privileges to drive procmail. Let "default_privs = nobody" , this is
recommended, BUT try procmail run with major privileges. Just setuid
procmail.
chmod a+s /usr/bin/procmail
and try now !

To be honest I haven't any experiencie with postfix, Justly and I'm
searching out abou  it and qmail to compare and select one to replace
sendmail.

any suggesting ?

P.S excuse my bad cuban-english
