Actually I did this sitewide using /etc/procmailrc
initially but then decided that
there were a few users who wouldn't be getting spam
filtering because they were
going to be using POP3 still and couln't see their spam
subfolder.

So if your problem is locking, you could let people use
their local ~/.procmailrc and the /etc/procmailrc could
send a copy to a Maildir... or you could use a global
/etc/procmailrc and do away with ~/.procmailrc.. or
probably a dozen other things that I can't think of at
the moment :)

I'm not sure I understand this.  If you're suggesting
that I could use, say, Microsoft LookOut!'s filtering
and send everything labeled as spam to a local folder,
I could, but then I'd have to teach everyone (local and
remote) how to do that and they wouldn't get the
portability benefits of IMAP.
