Well, then that's why it is ignoring /etc/procmail :-). One scaleable
solution, if you want the same procmailrc for each domain, is to use
hard links ('man ln').

You're welcome.

The only "difficult" part about installing it is configuring exim.
Compared to [what I hear about] sendmail's config files it is a walk
in the park. (exim really is easy to configure) However, there
aren't any semi-magic tools to do the job for you.

Does sendmail run those deliveries in a chroot jail? If so, you could
"install" (just a hard link) spamc in each of the virtual
sites' chroot and use spamd from the "real" system. You'll get better
performance using spamc/spamd anyways.
I'll try and help you figure out what you have, but it sounds like you
have a much more complicated setup than I choose to create using exim
(if I did virtual domains).
