this should be one of the first things

nobody needs procmail/shellscripts to get quota with postfix
and a MDA with LMPT support wokring these days

usually the better way implementing services is to draw
what exactly is needed and read docs how all this things
can be achived

example from dbmail (dovecot should be the same)
/etc/postfix/master.cf:
dbmail-lmtp     unix  -       -       n       -        -      lmtp -o disable_dns_lookups=yes

set the postfix-transport to "dbmail-lmtp:127.0.0.1:24" for each domain which should
be delivered to LMTP and you are done, "dbmail-lmtp" is only a name
