Can you move the entire mailspool, and symlink the directory?

set up a .forward in the user's home directory which contains:
|/path/to/funky/code

eg I had a .forward set up that did:
"|IFS=' '&&p=/usr/bin/procmail&&test -f $p&&exec $p -Yf-||exit 75 #zombie"

but I've now got postfix set up to use procmail as it's delivery agent.
