Hello...I have been trying to apply procmail to exim but still a long way.
I followed your technique as following(based on your homepage) :-)
I added comment where I changed anything.
With this configuration, every incoming message were added to
/var/spool/mail/mail.
I think this has something to do with the following
user = mail
Does anyone know how to modify it so that it can be delivered to
the proper user's mbox or forwarded to the specified address
defined in the /etc/aliases?
And any option needed when invoking procmail in the spamcheck part?
Thanks very much.

Edit /etc/exim/exim.conf to include scanning (filtering) by spamassassin
in the delivery of a message.
In the Transports section add the following (order is irrelevant) :
# Spam Assassin
spamcheck:
driver = pipe
command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr procmail-scanned -bS # changed here
transport_filter = /usr/bin/procmail #changed here
bsmtp = all
home_directory = "/tmp"
current_directory = "/tmp"
# must use a privileged user to set $received_protocol on the way back in!
user = mail
group = mail
return_path_add = false
log_output = true
return_fail_output = true
prefix =
suffix =
Insert the following at the top of the Directors section :
# Spam Assassin
spamcheck_director:
# do not use this director when verifying a local-part at SMTP-time
no_verify
# When to scan a message :
# - it isn't already flagged as spam
# - it isn't already scanned
# - it didn't originate locally (as long as I don't harbor spammers :-))
condition = "${if and { {!eq {$received_protocol}{procmail-scanned}} {!eq {$received_protocol}{local}} } {1}{0}}" #changed here
driver = smartuser
transport = spamcheck

I am really curious to see that config... :-)
