Thats what I use, with uv-imap as well (then you get both).  They work 
without any effort on the /var/spool/mail files that exim delivers to out of 
the box - so no real need for procmail (unless you want to do more filtering 
than exim can do - it can do quite a bit on its own - take a look at 
www.exim.org follow the links to documentation and FAQ and look at the 
document on the filtering).
