procmail(1) says:

       If no rcfiles and no -p have been specified on the command
       line,  procmail  will, prior to reading $HOME/.procmailrc,
       interpret commands from /usr/local/etc/procmailrc (if pre-
       sent).     Care    must    be    taken    when    creating
       /usr/local/etc/procmailrc, because, if circumstances  per-
       mit, it will be executed with root privileges (contrary to
       the $HOME/.procmailrc file of course). 

so it looks like /etc/procmailrc is read then .procmailrc

(this man page is from a FreeBSD system thus the /usr/local/etc instead 
of /etc)
