Maybe, maybe not...

That's a correct definition of the procmail mailer, BUT, the normal mail
delivery method for local users is a mailer called "local", not
"procmail".  You should search for the "Mlocal" definition and see if it
makes use of procmail.

For instance, on my HP-UX box here, procmail is not used by the local
mailer:

    Mlocal,     P=/usr/bin/rmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@m, S=10/30, R=20/40,
                T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                A=rmail -d $u

But on my Linux box at home, procmail is used:

    Mlocal,     P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qShP, S=10/30, R=20/40,
                T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                A=procmail -a $h -d $u

So your answer is "It depends."  :)
