Each email account are a separated box, they are not aliases

Well, it sort of depends on how the "extra" mail accounts are being
handled. Are they _aliases_ to the climbinc account, or do they shuttle
directly to SEPARATE POP or IMAP mailboxes?
If the messages do not pass through your shell account (i.e. are NOT
aliases), you're going to have difficulties trying to filter them.
OTOH, if you have filters that look specifically for your
"climbinc(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com" address and do things, then perhaps the messages
for the other addresses are passing through your procmail config, but
you're simply not matching them because you're using the wrong
criteria. Set "VERBOSE=ON" for verbose logging and send a few test
messages to see.
Spend some time discussing this with your system administrator at
VenturesOnline -- how are the other mail accounts are set up, are they
separate POP/IMAP mailboxes, if so, can delivery be routed through your
primary account instead (which then means all the messages will be
retrieved through a single POP/IMAP mailbox, which is probably NOT what
you want to be stuck with), do you actually have other shell accounts
associated with them (through which you could host separate .procmailrc
files).
The bottom line is that procmail _can_ filter the messages - as long as
the mail system passes the messages to procmail - if the configuration
doesn't, there's not a lot you can do from within your home dir to
change that.
I have the sinking suspicion that they are some form of virtual pop
accounts, and that is a whole other ball of wax for you to contend with
if there isn't an actual "account" sitting beneath them.
