Look in his home directory for a .procmailrc file.  If he has it, make
sure that the permissions are mode 600, owned by him (Look in
/var/log/mail/errors for lines that say "Suspicious permissions of
.procmailrc" or something similar to that.  Then go look inside his
.procmailrc and make sure that it's working properly.

Go look at /var/log/mail/errors in general, it might point out what the
real problem is if it's not procmail.
