You might try the following experiment ; put this in your .procmailrc --- # to see if .procmailrc is parsed first :0: * local --- and this in /etc/procmailrc --- # to see if systemwide is parsed first :0: * $HOME/system --- This should cause all mail to wind up in either a mailbox named local (if .procmailrc is parsed first), or one named system (if /etc/procmailrc is parsed first).
