Ian ,
I've the same setup as you , filtering mail through procmail. I did not
want to give up the procmail filtering even for local mail. For this I
added this line in /etc/postfix/main.cf
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
This works nice, I can still filter mail with procmail and gnus doesnot
feel any difference between local and foreign mail
