Don't think so. It should work. Is the /etc/procmailrc file executed?
Did you set LOGFILE in it? If so, what did it tell you?
What is the output from 'postconf mailbox_command'
What is the content of /etc/procmailrc
mailbox_command = procmail -a $RECIPIENT
procmailrc currently reads:
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
DEFAULT="| /usr/sbin/dbmail-smtp -d $1"
LOGABSTRACT=yes
VERBOSE=yes
COMSAT=no
LOG=`printenv`
EXITCODE=75 HOST

This should give me a temporary failure and push the message back into postfix's
queue. But I'm not getting this far. I'm still getting the failure:
Nov 25 15:41:53 cling postfix/local[23015]: 14E174C055: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
relay=local, delay=0.16, delays=0.07/0.05/0/0.04, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (
unknown user: "tom")
Which leads me to believe that this is slightly screwed up between postfix and
the local_recipient_map and my aliases files.
local_recipient_maps = pgsql:/etc/postfix/pgsql-recipients.cf
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
However, I should point out that there is no 'tom' mentioned in my aliases file.
So I'm not confident that this is the problem. It appears that the
postfix-local operation is trying to query the /etc/passwd file for the username
'tom' and not finding it.
to quote man local:
All delivery decisions are made using the bare recipient name (i.e. the
address localpart), folded to lower case. See also under ADDRESS
EXTENSION below for a few exceptions.

And from the postfix website:
If you use the local delivery agent mailbox_transport or fallback_transport
features to receive mail for users not in /etc/passwd, then you need to list
those users under local_recipient_maps, or you need to disable the
local_recipient_maps feature as described below.
(I'm using local_recipient_maps, this works under LMTP delivery)
Additionally:
Delivering some users locally while sending mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* In order to send mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED], specify what domain is to be
appended to addresses that do not have a domain:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
myorigin = domain.tld
---
I have myorigin = /etc/mailname
where mailname contains 'tacocat.net'
