Does anyone have a handy example or howto pointer for the matching

The key is ensuring that there's a trailing forward-slash on all
directory paths. :-)
We deliver all mail to $HOME/maildir; /etc/procmailrc reads
#
# /etc/procmailrc
#
# unless otherwise specified by a user's ~/.procmailrc, all inbound
# messages are delivered to a users ~/maildir folder. the trailing
# slash is important: it indicates Maildir (not mbox) format.
DEFAULT=$HOME/maildir/
User procmailrc files run in the same vein, e.g.,
# user .procmailrc
MAILDIR=$HOME/maildir
:0
* ^List-Id:.*<centos\.centos\.org>
.mailinglists.centos/
For Dovecot, the key directive is mail_location:
mail_location = maildir:%h/maildir
The dovecot.conf file also has some maildir-specific directives; I make
sure maildir files are copied with hard links (which won't work over NFS):
maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes
Does that help?
Yes, thanks. I sort-of understand the concepts but it is always good to
have known-working examples to get the syntax right.
