As I understand it, Dovecot HAS to notify the client (else it would be
violating the RFCs). If you don't want the client to tell you about it,
you have two choices. Firstly, you could implement (depending on your MUA)
a client rule to mark the messages as read. Secondly, you could stop
procmail putting them in the IMAP store (delete them, put them somewhere
else, whatever).
