I use qmail/vpopmail. I haven't gotten around to replacing vdelivermail 
with deliver.  I run both maildrop and procmail globally, but don't have 
them do final delivery unless it's part of the filter.  This allows me 
to still run personal .qmail-default's, like vacations and forwards.
The trick is to make sure that maildrop and procmail don't set 
ERRORLEVEL = 0 when they don't have any matching rules.  This lets qmail 
continue through the .qmail-default script.

I don't know if deliver is a full vdelivermail replacement in the above 
example, but the errorlevel magic is an option (and a headache - let me 
know if you want scripts..).
I don't run Sieve.
