This is a bad idea all together because you loose envelop addresses.
Forget POP and use UUCP over TCP/IP. It's pretty easy to set up. If
your ISP won't provide you with that then find another.

While I can't give you an exact recipe (too late and I'm tired). It is
possible that other people could get it, you don't have to stop
filtering it through procmailrc after one thing matches.

You could try postfix as well. I like it better than exim and easy to
configure.
