Well in our companies case we are sending and receiving via POP3, so
maybe I could have the POP3 pass it to Procmail..then procmail pass it

Does that make sense? Anyone aware of a POP3 program that has this
ability?
No, it doesn't. POP is not involved in any way with the sending of
email. It is only used to retrieve stored mail from a mail server.
Nevertheless, check out `fetchmail'. It retrieves stored mail via POP3
or IMAP4 and then hands it off to a local MTA for re-delivery. It's then
up to the MTA to invoke procmail, not the other way around, though you can
probably come up with a fetchmail configuration hack to run procmail
directly.
I invoke fetchmail and utilize procmail as my mta. See following
".fetchmailrc":
# Configuration created <DATE> by fetchmailconf
set logfile "/home/MY.NAME/.procmail/fetchmail.log"
set postmaster "MY.NAME"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
poll pop.XXXXXXXX.net via pop.XXXXXXXX.net
