Oh, well... as far as I understand the idea, it IS simple...
Try this:
//-----
:0
*^To: .*myname@my\.host
$DEFAULT

:0
$HOME/junk
//-----

Just remember to delete ~/junk from time to time... or
download it when you have time to ensure, there's no mail, you could
be interested in there.
One more comment... I forward mail from several servers to one
account, so my *^To: rule would look like this:
*^To: .*cypis@.*\.uci\.agh\.edu\.pl (they're all in the same domain)
And one more comment... I'm not sure, what's better... to
check the junk folder online (filtered through procmail), or to
download all the junk and delete it at home...
Well if one's brave enough, he could try change $HOME/junk to
/dev/null ;) I'm not ;)
