I dont know much about this but my set spoolfile is different. I use
/var/mail/tom. You can type procmail -v ina terminal and it will give
you the name of your spoolfile.

What a friendly group! Can't tell you folks how much I appreciate the
input.
Tom, I tried typing 'procmail -v ina terminal' and bash gave me an
error, but
I did find the '-v' switch did work. If you spent as much time as I
have in
the ms.public hierarchy you may find that funny.
Seems procmail has noticed my ~/.procmailrc, but is ignoring my settings
and
instead is creating /var/spool/mail/george which, I guess, would be fine for
the moment except for following rude but informative output:
...
fetchmail: smtp listener protocol error
fetchmail: smtp listener protocol error
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to /usr/bin/procmail
-d %T#****************************procmail: Suspicious rcfile
"/home/george/.procmailrc"
procmail: Couldn't read "/home/george/.procmailrc"
not flushed
...
I'm still going through the docs, but if someone has a tip, I'm all ears.
Cheers.
