I'm running sendmail/procmail/dovecot on all my CentOS 4 systems. Works 
great! If I understand it correctly, procmail is actually called from 
sendmail so your setup should be pretty much identical except you'll 
need to do a bit with the dovecot config and set it to start on boot. I 
found it an easy changeover.
