Give a chance to $MAIL and $MAILPATH variables.  $MAIL is intended to
specify your primary inbox file and $MAILPATH is a colon separated list of
your inbox mail folders (you can specify alternative arrival msg for each
element).

Where can you run procmail?  I think you have to put procmail to .forward
and to .qmail too.  In this case you can specify alternative procmailrc
files (for default delivery).
