Yes, I'm already doing exactly that:
tech-support: "| /usr/bin/procmail DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/Shared/tech/
UMASK=007"

But the problem is that clients won't see the mails, unless I create an
empty directory "/var/spool/mail/Shared/tech/.INBOX". Once that
directory is in place, clients will show the delivered mails in
"Shared/tech/INBOX". (Even though I delivered them to "../tech/".)

Cheers,
