procmail is doing strange things

1999-05-07 21:51:28
hello all

i have fetchmail fetch mail from my school's pop 3 server.  when it does,
the mail get's put into /var/spool/mail/mail instead of
/var/spool/mail/root.

even more confusing, it doesn't write an entry in procmail's mail log,
which makes it look like procmail isn't really running.

here is my .forward:
"|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/bin/procmail/procmail && test -f $p && exec $p -Yf- || exit 
75 #root"

and here's my .procmailrc:
HOME=/root
SENDMAIL=/usr/lib/sendmail
MAILDIR=${HOME}/mail
PROCDIR=/usr/bin/procmail
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/procmail
VERBOSE=on

INCLUDERC=${HOME}/.procmail/rc.maillists
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/MAILLOG


i don't have a procmail mail log to show, unfortunately.  can someone
please help me figure out why this is happening?  it's putting a big cramp
in my email life.

much thanks!
pete
