Can you find a way around that? If not, you're out of luck unless you
patch procmail's source and rebuild. From the procmail man page (which,
BTW, explains what "suspicious rcfile" means):
For security reasons procmail will only use an absolute or
$HOME-relative rcfile if it is owned by the recipient or
root, not world writable, and the directory it is con-
tained in is not world writable. The $HOME/.procmailrc
file has the additional constraint of not being group-
writable or in a group-writable directory.
procmail won't use your rc file unless both it and your home directory
are writeable only by you.
Cheers,
John
