It seems that, when the UMASK environment variable is more restrictive
than the mode of the mailbox, procmail changes the mode of the
mailbox.

The default value of UMASK is 077.  If you want to preserve the group
access to your mailbox, I think you can set UMASK to 007 in the
rcfile:

  UMASK=007

Hmm.

Probe:

leila:~$ cat /etc/procmailrc
VERBOSE=on
UMASK=007

leila:~$ sendmail -v hlehmann
test
.
