Here's what I do - I doubt it's the best approach, but it works:

Inside domainxyz.com's control account home dir there is the 
.qmail-josh file for [email protected] (all on one line):

| /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/procmail 
/usr/local/sites/www.domainxyz.com/users
/josh/.procmailrc

Here's the .procmailrc file (I filter on X-Spam-Level):

HOME=/usr/local/sites/www.domainxyz.com/users/josh
#LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmaillog
#VERBOSE=yes
MAILDIR=$HOME
LANG=en_US
DROPPRIVS=yes # don't run procmail as root

# Mails with a score of 10 or higher are almost certainly spam (with 0.05%
# false positives according to rules/STATISTICS.txt). Let's put them in a
# different folder.
:0:$HOME/.procmail.lock
* ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*
|/usr/local/bin/maildir $MAILDIR/.SPAM
# could also send to /dev/null

# other rules here

# Default rule, send message to INBOX
:0:$HOME/.procmail.lock
|/usr/local/bin/maildir $MAILDIR


/usr/local/bin/maildir is a C program I found here:

http://www.ornl.gov/lists/mailing-lists/qmail/1997/11/msg00454.html

I doubt I need this anymore, but it works so I'm not going to change 
it.  :)

Any tips appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh
