No dice. It won't work. By the way, the setup works for me when I get
email from the ISP using fetchmail and deliver it to Cyrus using the
same procmail recipe.

You use fetchmail for local delivery from user A to user B? Could you
please share your Exim and fetchmail setup?

Personally, I think the the problem is in trying to use Exim to deliver
directly to Procmail.
