1) Access state
--------------- 
We are using HPs and our mail is not correctly installed.
What is happening is that each time procmail runs my mailfile
ends up with wrong access state:

before running : -rw-rw----
after running : -rw-------

Do you know a way to have the access state being correct?

I believe you must reconfigure procmail for this.  However, after minor
source code scanning, I don't offhand see how one would do it.


2) Manuals
----------
In the version that I have, I haven't found any information (neither
in FAQ nor in man) about the ":" statements present in .procmailrc
e.g. ":0 c".

Where these statements are defined?

From the procmailrc(5) manpage:

      Recipes
         A line starting with ':' marks the beginning  of  a  recipe.
         It has the following format:

              :0 [flags] [ : [locallockfile] ]
              <zero or more conditions (one per line)>
              <exactly one action line>


(This leaves out the old style recipes, where the number of conditions
 was the number after the colon.  That should probably be mentions in
 a NOTE on the procmailrc manpage.)
