Don't use .forward to redirect to .procmail, remove the .forward file and exim will go straight to .procmail (assuming you're still default).
Possibly don't trust probmail to deliver into maildir files. Early versions were not well implemented, and I'm not sure that this has changed. Safecat will do the job nicely.
This appears to work so far, the next steps are to get fetchmail going (that’s pretty easy), an IMAP daemon running, then a webmail interface so I can check my emails from work on the new Debian mail server.
If there is sufficient interest I am willing to document the entire
process and post to the list,
