Depending on your MTA and setup you may want to reinject messages
back to MTA queue for reprocessing (for Qmail it'd be qmail-inject
tool) contrary to already proposed direct mbox/mdir delivery. This
approach ensures it goes the regular way () including users' procmail
recipes and stuff.

hmmm, I liked this suggestion because it seemed so simple:
formail -ds procmail < /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
But testing it on my own mail file does not seem to be working, it's
just hung. It's only 1Mg so I would not expect it to actually take long
to process.
This might indicate that either procmail or formail is waiting for
input from stdin. You might try
formail -s wc < mailbox
to see if it is formail or procmail (or you could just check the
procmail logfile.
