Put it in the above home directory, e.g. /home/user1.  

2 -  /var/mail/user1 (user1 mail directory )

Is /var/mail/user1 a directory??  I should think /var/mail/user1 would
typically be a "regular file".


* if I have a rule for all users I have to put the .procmailrc file in all
users directory ??

You can put it in /etc/procmailrc


I'm using mail.local now.
when i install procmail, will be created a .procmailrc file in each
user mail directory?

No.


if a user don't have a .procmailrc file the mail delivery don't function?

Mail delivery will function, but procmail will only use
/etc/procmailrc if the user's home directory has no .procmailrc file.
