Or the problem could be that procmail was compiled without setting
GROUP_PER_USER on. If your setup gives every user a private group, and
your rcfile or the directory it resides in is group-writable, but that's
not really a security problem because you're the only member of your group,
procmail doesn't know that there are special circumstances making it safe
to use a group-writable rcfile (or an rcfile in a group-writable directory).
"Suspicious rcfile" has nothing to do with the contents of the rcfile but
rather the characteristics. As the procmail(1) man page says,
Suspicious rcfile "x" The owner of the rcfile was not the
recipient or root, the file was
world writable, or the directory
that contained it was world
writable, or this was the default
rcfile ($HOME/.procmailrc) and ei-
ther it was group writable or the
directory that contained it was
group writable (the rcfile was not
used).
