Yes this means you are using procmail as a local mailer.

But it *is* possible to use procmail to deliver to the imapserver.
What you need to do is put all the filtering and spamassassin stuff
before a final catch-all that does the delivery.

Here's one way to do it:

##########################
## GLOBAL procmail recipes
VERBOSE=on
LOGFILE=/var/tmp/procmail.global.log

###################################
## Which rc files should we include
#INCLUDERC="/usr/local/etc/cyrus/rc/$CYRUSUSER-lists.rc"
#INCLUDERC="/usr/local/etc/cyrus/rc/$CYRUSUSER.rc"
#INCLUDERC="/usr/local/etc/cyrus/rc/$CYRUSUSER-default.rc"

###########################
## Set Cyrus IMAP Variables
DELIVER=/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver
SPAMASS=/usr/local/spamfilter/bin/spamc

:0fw
|${SPAMASS} -u cyrus
:0
|${DELIVER} -e -a $CYRUSUSER -m user.$CYRUSUSER

IMO it's better to kick out deliver altogether, configure sendmail to
use cyrus as your local mailer, deliver through lmtp and talk to
SA through a milter, but that's a different chapter.
