       I'm trying to use procmail, but I can't stop it from writing messages
on /dev/console everytime it's called even though I defined the LOGFILE
variable.

Check the the file config.h in the distribution for the following:

/*#define console       "/dev/console"  /* uncomment if you want procmail to
                                           use the console (or any other
        terminal or file) to print any error messages that could not be dumped
        in the "logfile"; only recommended for debugging purposes, if you have
        trouble creating a "logfile" or suspect that the trouble starts before
        procmail can interpret any rcfile or arguments. */

Make sure the first line has the "/*" comment starter at the beginning of
it.  You'll need to recompile after changing that.
