I suppose I could bring the /etc/procmailrc to .procmailrc in my home 
directory.  As I am the only user on my system, I didn't see much need to 
setup individual procmail and fetchmail settings.  Besides which, I HAD to do 
the global setup for fetchmail (and thus defaulted to doing it with procmail 
too) because I wanted to run fetchmail as a daemon rather than as a cron job.  
If run as a daemon, it will not use ~/.fetchmailrc and will complain and 
error out if there isn't an /etc/fetchmailrc.  

In any case, I suppose I feared that procmail would do the same thing and 
complain if there wasn't an /etc/procmailrc (and having a .procmailrc in my 
home directory would essentially be redundant).  

The /etc/procmailrc file is setup specifically for me.  Can I simply get away 
with moving /etc/procmailrc to $HOME/.procmailrc (and change the perms to be 
for me rather than root)?  Procmail wont complain if there is no 
/etc/procmailrc file the way fetchmail does...or...if procmail is called from 
the fetchmail daemon (not a user-initiated cron job) will procmail still use 
$HOME/.procmailrc?
