  There isn't a great way to do it neatly because there isn't a great
 way to get system-wide stuff working.

  The best compromise I can think of would be to add the procmail
 fragments to the global file /etc/procmailrc - then have it 
 check a per-user killfile form /var/killfile/$USER/.killfile

  You could then write a couple of scripts for each user to 
 update their own files - but getting security right would be
 tricky.

  Finally you could add a snippet to do the killing into
 /etc/Muttrc.d/ - and that would be read by all users.

  So .. it is possible, but it wouldn't be neat.
