I've got no recollection of that at all, which doesn't surprise me.
What did it do and how far did I get?

I like someone's suggestion of using default Sieve scripts. One of the 
guys who works for me is currently writing a Sieve script generator and 
installer in PHP, as apparently the protocol used to install Sieve 
scripts is trivial.

For all the users who don't have a Sieve script (or are using one you 
didn't generate), you generate and install a script that looks for the 
X-Spam-Status: header and moves the mail into a Junk folder. Using that 
header means you are doing the same that SpamAssassin would do if called 
by spamc/spamd. Always a good idea to use something someone else already 
does, no point in reinventing the wheel.

I like Cyrus more every time I use it :-)

If you are going to have to use procmail then you will need to be using 
a mail-base architecture that procmail understands, which I believe are 
mbox and maildir.
