It is possible to set up procmail as the local delivery agent;
see the lines under 'local/*' in scheduler.conf. Then, procmail
will only be invoked after a mail has already passed the
SMTP gateway policy. And this little bit from the procmail
man page:
If no rcfiles and no -p have been specified on the command
line, procmail will, prior to reading $HOME/.procmailrc,
interpret commands from /etc/procmailrc (if present).
Care must be taken when creating /etc/procmailrc, because,
if circumstances permit, it will be executed with root
privileges (contrary to the $HOME/.procmailrc file of
course).
makes me think that what you propose can be done.
