I do something like the following:

I used to do this, and have procmail do crude spam filtering.
I eventually took it out of the loop because mail spool was not a
reliable concept in my (relatively highly distributed) world. I'm
curious if it gives any benefits today; I would expect machines
without working mail spools to be even more common, but I
haven't looked in forever.
In your procmailrc you can specify any pathname to by the
"spool" file if you are on a system that does not have one.
Then just set default options to 'inc' in your .mh_profile
to use whatever pathname you choose (and to truncate it
since inc only auto-truncates the system mail spool file).
