In order to do this, procmail would need to run with sufficient permission to write to the mailbox of any user. It may be better to properly configure an MTA or fetchmail to do the job.

That said, if you get procmail working, rules like this canuse "To:" headers (and similar headers) to direct mail to users' mailboxes:

:0:
* ^TObob@
/var/spool/mail/bob

:0:
* ^TOfred@
/var/spool/mail/fred

...etc.
