No. First, procmail doesn't need the -m flag. See the procmail section
in LWQ:
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#procmail
Also, if you want delivery via procmail to be the default, specify
that on the qmail-start command line, or in the
control/defaultdelivery file if you installed using LWQ.
Finally, you can specify a systemwide default procmailrc in
/etc/procmailrc.

You can't really save your users from themselves...
