Can anyone point me in the right direction I wish to achieve the following:-

Outline

I have a sever running a number of virtual domains on one IP address.

I want to be able to use sendmail to collect the mail split it by domain and then pass it over to Procmail for local delivery (I think I'm OK up to here).

I then need Procmail to sub dived the mail for users in each domain.

Users will then be able to POP their mail.

Which implies that they have a username/password on the server, which means you can just accomplish this the proper way:

        Create "host" user account (the username/password they log in with)
        Properly add that user to the sendmail virtusertable or aliases file
        Restart sendmail (to effect config file changes)

For how to configure sendmail, see <http://www.sendmail.org>, go to <news:comp.mail.sendmail>, or pick up the sendmail "bat" book from ORA.

I do not want a user account for each user in each domain (i.e. Qpopper needs alternative authentication)

        virtusertable:

        sales(_at_)myco(_dot_)com          salesuser
        sales(_at_)yourco(_dot_)com        salesuser

I want to be able to support sales(_at_)myco(_dot_)com and sales(_at_)yourco(_dot_)com (Same account name at different domains) Ideally the POP daemon would recognise the domain name it was called as and use the corresponding spool and password files.

I'm sure you realize that procmail has nothing at all to do with your POP daemon. If you're looking for something special for your POP daemon, you'll need to find (or write) a pop daemon capable of doing what you're asking for.
