In order to get it to work I've added the following lines to sendmail.cf:
--In definitions
CPprocmail
--In Ruleset 98
R$*<@$*.cqg.com>$* $#procmail $@/etc/procmail/filter.rc
$:$1<@$2.cqg.com.procmail>$3
R$*<@$*.cqg.com.>$* $#procmail $@/etc/procmail/filter.rc
$:$1<@$2.cqg.com.procmail.>$3
R$*<@cqgmail.cqg.com.procmail.>$* $1<@cqgmail.cqg.com.>$2
R$*<@$*.procmail.>$* $1<@int.cqg.com.>$3
R$+ < @ $* cqgmail.cqg.com. > $#esmtp $@ cqgmail.cqg.com. $: $1 <
@cqg.com. >
R$+ < @ $* int.cqg.com. > $#esmtp $@ int.cqg.com. $: $1 < @cqg.com. >
R$+ < @ $* int.cqg.com > $#esmtp $@ int.cqg.com. $: $1 < @cqg.com. >
--In Mailer Definitions
Mprocmail, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=DFMmShun, S=11/31, R=21/31,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=procmail -m $h $g $u
--
And my /etc/procmail/filter.rc file:
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
SENDER = "<$1>" # fix for empty sender addresses
SHIFT = 1
:0f
| spamc -f
:O:
* ^Subject:.*\{SPAM\?\}.*
# Send mail along to original recipients and spam account for logging
! -oi -f "$SENDER" "$@" spam at cqg.com.procmail
:0 w # pass along all other mail
! -oi -f "$SENDER" "$@"
