One of the reasons *some* people say procmail is like line noise.

Example.

You are using maildir - signified by the slash after ...mutt-users/ but
you have also told procmail to use locking - signified by the colon
after :0: - you only need locking on an mbox style mailbox.

So correct would be:

:0
* /^Sender: owner-mutt-users@mutt\.org$
$HOME/Mail/IN-mutt-users/
