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;
   }
