Have you looked at 'sieve' and 'pigeonhole' setup? procmail is old old old and completely unsupported.

This is probably old and should be removed or replaced. I have /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf which looks like this:
plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/before.d sieve_after = /etc/dovecot/sieve-after sieve_extensions = +spamtest +spamtestplus sieve_spamtest_status_type = score sieve_spamtest_status_header = X-Spamd-Result: default: [[:alnum:]]+ [(-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+) / -?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+\] sieve_spamtest_max_header = X-Spamd-Result: default: [[:alnum:]]+ [-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+ / (-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)\] }
And I have spamassissin scoring my mails, this script to move them into 'Junk' as needed:
# more /etc/dovecot/sieve-after/spam-to-folder.sieve require ["fileinto","mailbox"];
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto :create "Junk"; stop; }

Certainly that's doable, but I don't have any access to that web page for updates, but... I honestly haven't checked either! LOL! Just replying from what I've seen over the years.
I too used to use procmail and it did a great job, but with Dovecot and IMAP, having the integrated sieve protocol setup makes alot of sense to keep down complexity. Even thoguh you now have to learn a new language to filter emails, but it's not that hard.
