One thing that bugs me: isn't the LDA invoked separately for each recipient's

That depends on what your LDA supports, and you can configure your MTA
accordingly.
With LMTP you can specify as many recepients as you want and receive an
independent reply code for each of them.
Anyway, procmail doesn't support LMTP, so looks like I'll need to find an
alternative.
I can probably still use procmail, not as LDA, but as a sendmail filter.
