I use procmail with postfix.  I have used it with Exim, on a hosted 
account and I had to do some hackery to get it to work.  I still get an 
occasional mail from people searching the Exim archives about a hack I 
posted to get procmail working.  This may have changed in the past few 
years too.

(BTW, does anybody know how to delay loop detection?  I used wildcard 
expansion through procmail and I want to send mail addressed to 
pager at bfccomputing to bill+pager at bfccomputing and 
bill+text at bfccomputing, but since pager, bill+pager, and bill+text all 
go back to the same account postfix calls a foul and tells me about a 
mail loop.  I know, I tell postfix, I'm dealing with it in procmail, 
but postfix doesn't listen.

I've had the same address on my cable modem for over a year, but my 
parents' Verizon DSL DHCP address (via pppoe) changes as often as every 
15 minutes.  Dyndns to the rescue for support...
