Short answer: Avoid using procmail with cyrus, unless you want to have to
screw with setuid problems with procmail and deliver and ACL wackiness on
users' mailboxes.  IMO, the hassle you go through as an admin to force the
two together is greater than the hassle of your users having to convert to
sieve.

Websieve and the avelsieve plugin for squirrelmail beat procmail hands
down for simple administrative tasks.
