Looks like you confirm what I had suspected after searching the entire
Internet at least 10 times. :--)

So Procmail is indeed for local delivery only, not for email gateways.
Bummer...

Ok, so I will try amavisd-new next.

Thank you for your time!

so email will be sent from postfix to the end server, and won't be
delivered locally. as a result, procmail won't even be called.

running SA from an MDA is only feasible if your system does deliver mail
to a local or virtual user. for relay, use "gateway" mode as you did
previously. note that using amavisd-new would be better (that'll avoid
forking smapc for every mail).
