dovecot - Nov 2015 - procmail as a content_filter with dovecot

I am using Mac OS X Server. OS X Server uses postfix with dovecot set as
mail_transport.

I want to add procmail to the mix. I cannot use the (typical)
    mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"

because
    mailbox_transport = dovecot

overrides any mailbox_command parameter and it is NOT Possible to change,
remove, or otherwise vary the
mailbox_transport on OS X server.

I'm thinking I should be able to set up a content_filter for procmail, but
I've found nothing online to tell me if this is possible or how to declare
it.

Can anyone help?

dovecot supports sieve, so why the need for procmail ?

but if mta is configured to use procmail then next step is just configure 
procmailrc to use mda dovecot-lda

Like Benny said: dovecot has sieve, even on OSX:

LMGIFY :) :
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH8750 is a bit dated as for Snow Leopard?
but here I find something more recent:

I can only recommend to install Roundcube and the managesieve plugin. That will
give you a nice webui for editing your filters.
