I haven't used Courier, but I thought it used Maildir mailboxes
natively, and procmail can deliver to Maildir.  So all you would 
need to do is configure procmail accordingly (the procmailrc(5) 
has configuration, and procmailex(5) has recipes), and it should
Just Work.  

But I haven't actually done it myself; I'm just trusting the
documentation (!).
