I went ahead and installed procmail. Delivery through procmail works
fine with the following /home/bska-archive/.procmailrc

---------------CUT------------------

# Please check if all the paths in PATH are reachable, remove the ones
that # are not.

PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail      # You'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/proc.log
LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail
SHELL=/bin/sh

:0:
| /usr/bin/lurker-index -l buskatiers -m

---------------CUT------------------

This is not going to work if I want to install lurker on a full virtual
mail system (no local users) later but I'll pick at other solutions a
bit when I have time.

I think I have it figured out (using postfix mailbox_command_maps) but
I'll need to work out the command structure and also write a wrapper
script to rip the listname out of the username.

Thanks,

Gerald
