(newbie) Imap(Cyrus)+postfix work, but procmail doesent

Hello Mailers,

i tried a few weeks, but it wont work together.
I run suse 8.2 with Postfix and imap (cyrus).
This works fine, sending and receiving mail are working.

But i dont know, how to insert the procmail filter. I get errors in
many cases. in the future I will use procmail and spamassisin, but for
now, procmail ist my wish.

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP, in my inbox i have every day about 250 mails (50%
spam)......

p.s. sorry for my bad english, its long time ago for me - you can
answer me in german to bforpc@yahoo.de


here are my configuration files:
(main.cf, master.cf, procmailrc, imapd.conf, cyrus.conf)

main.cf
(there are some other sections in this file, but i think that this is
not important)

hilft mir nicht wirklich weiter, da ich kein "dmail" benutze.
Ich nutze Postfix/cyrus (cyrus "deliver")

I did see this line in yourmain.cf:

mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -Y -a $DOMAIN

I don't know if needed but my procmailrc has a "." =hidden file
I know that the permissions are kind of important. I they are too loose, it
won't work.
Mine are -rw----
Here is my relevant .provmailrc

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

PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail # You'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail
:0fw
| spamassassin -P
:0 # Anything from thf

If you are using imap, you need to commnet out the DEFAULT=$MAIL... line
