".procmailrc" would be the name of a personal procmail recipes *file*. ".procmail" would be the name of a personal procmail *directory* which could contain recipes, logs and scripts. Both reside in the users home.

What you'll want is to find out the main purpose of Postfix, Dovecot and Procmail (from their websites for instance, or a HOWTO) and then you can answer the question for yourself! You really don't need to rely on others for answering simple questions like that...
