We aren't going to go into huge amounts of detail about running procmail, but just describe issues involving Qmail, SpamAssassin and TMDA.

By default, our Qmail installation delivers in Maildir format, to the directory ~/Maildir/ for each user. This is overridden on a user-by-user basis: Qmail will use a user's ~/.qmail file for delivery, if it exists. So for procmail, create ~/.qmail with the contents

|/usr/sbin/qmail-procmail

The construction of qmail-procmail is described in the >>procmail section of Life with Qmail; its contents are described >>here.

If the user's .procmailrc contains something like

:0
/home/username/Maildir/

then procmail is basically operating as the identity file filter, delivering everything to the user's Maildir.
