I have a very similar setup. I put the mail from a few sources, and a
bunch comes a local SMTP server. I use maildrop instead of procmail, but
the concept is identical.

Anyway, I filter the mail into a series of Maildirs (I'm in a NFS
environment). Then I use an IMAP daemon that groks Maildirs and sees
them as folders. Voila, my Apple Mail client, my Squirrelmail web mail
app, and mutt are all in sync.
