OK. I know that this is possible because I'm doing it on one system
here. <g>

OK, fairly standard .procmailrc file. Files the spam in a per-user
spambox. In a general ISP environment, I prefer this if possible.

Required on those strange systems that don't call procmail by default
for local mail delivery. <g>

Since you're using procmail, you may be able to create a global
procmailrc file (/etc/procmailrc) something like this:
# File spam in the global spambox:
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Flag: YES
/var/spool/mail/spambox
YMMV for permissions and "execute procmail as" issues, etc, etc. On any
of the systems I admin at work, and any of my personal systems, that
would work fine because procmail is called directly by sendmail for
local mail delivery.
What I do on one system here is actually a little different. I use
MIMEDefang (http://www.mimedefang.org) to call SpamAssassin, and then do
additional processing within MIMEDefang to determine where the message
actually ends up.
