you need some form of message transport, whether its postfix or sendmail
is up to you. AV stuff is strictly optional.

procmail can be used as the delivery agent if you so want. if you do
use it, then you can configure it with .procmailrc scripts on a per
account basis to do all the usual procmail things. if you're using
postfix as the MTA, then you can use its built in 'local' delivery
agent, or that can be configured to use procmail if you prefer.
