Then, an instruction in /etc/procmailrc such as this:

DROPPRIVS

Doesn't it have to be

 DROPPRIVS=yes

or something along those lines?

No.  It's a state.  In the /etc/procmailrc, privileges are elevated.
That ends when either (a) the rc-file ends; (b) there is delivery;
or DROPPRIVS is invoked.  (There's no way back, at least without
forking another procmail.)
