mailbox_transport = procmail

What I use:
mailbox_command = /usr/local/bin/procmail -t -a "$EXTENSION"

Then the master.cf :
procmail  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=R user=mail argv=/usr/bin/procmail -t -m USER=${user}
EXT=${extension} /etc/procmailrc

procmail  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
   -o flags=R user=delivery argv=/usr/local/bin/procmail -t -m USER=$ 
{delivery} EXTENSION=${extension} /usr/local/etc/procmailrc.common

NB: It's pipe -o, not pipe

BUT : all mails are owned by the "user=..." i.e. "mail" from the entry
of the master.cf (postfix).

Well, as I understood it the user=delivery means that the delivery  
agent in postfix 'owns' the message, and the delivery agent 'does the  
right thing'.

I'm not sure why yours is set to 'mail'

"..after processing aliases and .forward files" are the keywords !

Why?  Where does the .forward of alias come into play?
