if I use some variables in my /etc/procmailrc file that are user

Procmail variables are just UNIX environment variables and are therefore
per-process.

As a side-note for those who wonder how you can tell from inside the
/etc/procmailrc which user the message is be delivered to, the LOGNAME
variable is what you're looking for.
