Oh, right! Duh. Sheesh. :-) Thanks. So I need to simply do
helpdesk: "|procmail -m /rules/for/helpdesk"
Yes, I see it now. Thanks for pointing that out.

Lately, a lot of spam has been hitting our helpdesk email address,
creating bogus helpdesk tickets. Our email server already uses Spam
Assassin to tag likely spam, so now all I need to do is filter on
that spam score. What I don't know how to do is how to use procmail
in an environment where there is no home directory - there is no
/home/helpdesk or anything, so I can't have a .procmail rules file, I
guess I would need to use it more as a script called from the aliases
file.
/etc/procmailrc and $HOME/.procmailrc are used if present, but you can
specify a procmailrc file in a different location.
man procmail
procmail [-ptoY] [-f fromwhom] [parameter=value | rcfile]...
procmail [-toY] [-f fromwhom] [-a argument] -d recipient ...
procmail [-ptY] -m [parameter=value] ... rcfile [argument] ...
procmail -v
