I run exim as my smtp server, and I also use procmail.
in my exim.conf file, in the routers section, I have this:
# procmail router
procmail:
driver = accept
check_local_user
transport = procmail_pipe
then in the transports section, I have this:
# procmail transport
procmail_pipe:
driver = pipe
command = /usr/bin/procmail -d $local_part
return_path_add
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
check_string = "From "
escape_string = ">From "
user = $local_part
group = mail
then you'll have to set up a ~/.procmailrc file in the user account.
