I have a CS account and this is what I have.  I didn't set it up.  The 
sysadmin did...

$ cat ~/.procmailrc
# basic configuration information
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=$HOME/bin:/local/bin:/usr/bin

# any local overrides
INCLUDERC=$HOME/etc/procmail.settings

INCLUDERC=/cs/lib/procmail/forward_spamassassin
INCLUDERC=$HOME/etc/procmail.rules
INCLUDERC=/cs/lib/procmail/vacation

:0 w : inbox.lock
* $ ! ${MHINBOX:+!}
| rcvstore +${MHINBOX}


$ cat ~/etc/procmail.settings
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
FORWARDTO=rob at mydomain.com


I'm pretty sure this still passes off to spamassassin and if it's ok, 
then forwards it on to me.
