What I would like to do is have the .qmail type options (or procmail,

I highly recommend you check out Maildrop, currently at v1.1. You can grab
a copy and read up on the program (and why I'm recommending it over
Procmail) at <http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/>.
So far so good. I do not know if Procmail already officially supports
Maildirs, but when I moved to Maildrop from the default Procmail at around
the same time I moved to QMail from Sendmail (a few months back, at the
least), Procmail still had to be patched, and I wasn't too happy with
that. I also find that Maildrop is more efficient than Procmail at doing
its job. I don't know how true that is under high loads, though. I'm not
one of those with extreme requirements.
The language of the Maildrop filters is pretty straightforward, despite
the fact that the documentation may seem intimidating at first (so many
filtering capabilities there if you need them, but so far I don't).
To help you out I'll be giving you a bare-bones $HOME/.mailfilter file
that you could use. All this does is set the default Maildir, and filters
courier-users e-mail (while we're at it, someone please tell me if I'm
doing things really wrong with my filters, but perhaps that would be
better said in the Maildrop mailing list).
