Had you used Debian and exim it would've worked automatically (or
certainly should've...)

You'll need to either tell your MTA (or MDA) to check for a .procmailrc
in the user's home directory and use it if it exists, or use something
like a .forward file to feed mail to procmail upon delivery.

I don't know the magic recipie for the .forward file approach. I use
exim on Debian.
