Very well.

You can still use /etc/procmailrc as well as ~user/.procmailrc, as 
Postfix also used Procmail for local deliveries - same as Sendmail did.

Check your /var/log/maillog. It will probably complain that Postfix 
couldn't write to /var/log/procmail_log

The thing is that Postfix runs as user "postfix", group "postfix" and 
although it's member of groups "mail" and "smssp"? The only way I found 
to keep procmail logging to a file was if I set the permissions of the 
logfile to 0644: chmod 0644 /var/log/procmail_log
