OK, then ... you need to prevent procmail from reading the system-wide
procmailrc, so you're going to need to specify a different recipe file
on the command line. Also:

Yes, but ...

"procmail foo" means that "foo" is a file containing filter recipes, not
that "foo" is a user. (Read "man procmailrc"?) "procmail -d $username"
means what you intend.
Unfortunately you can't both specify a recipient on the command line and
also specify a recipe file on the command line. So your best bet is to
have the perl script change user ID to the intended recipient, e.g. like
this:
$< = $> = $userid;
and then invoke
formail -s procmail /dev/null < /var/log/spam/$file
where /dev/null is used as the recipe file and therefore no filtering is
done. If you need to run the user's own procmail recipes, you need
something like
formail -s procmail /home/$username/.procmailrc < /var/log/spam/$file
(replacing /home/$username with the appropriate path).
