Read up on the COMSAT variable, as described on the procmailrc(5) manpage,
i.e., try the command
      man procmailrc
then look for COMSAT.

In my understanding of the manpages it is said that COMSAT defaults to
biff(_at_)localhost if procmail is used from a .forward-file and not a 
commandline-specified rc-file.

So it *should* biff as soon as procmail runs with a normal .procmailrc
starting with 

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail/incoming   #you'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox.spool   #completely optional
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from         #recommended

Or did I get something wrong?

Further help woul be appreciated
