How can I force procmail to deliver to the /tmp directory of the shell
machine?

I have seen this question on here more than once.  I have a suggestion on
how to possibly make it work.

Do a pwd and see what the path is to your home directory.
eg. /home/users/g-m/myhome

Then in your procmailrc declare the name of your write-to directory to be:

MYWRITE="/home/users/g-m/myhome/../../../../tmp"

This gives you an indirect path from your directory to the /tmp drive
hopefully on your machine.

Maybe?
