[miah at server miah]$grep procmail /etc/postfix/master.cf
[miah at server miah]$grep procmail /etc/postfix/main.cf  
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
#mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"

After you edit the main.cf, just run 'postfix reload'.  Make sure you
have a ~/.procmail, and you might want a /etc/procmailrc that
contains the following if you're using Maildir.

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
