The correct way to tell procmail that your system uses a different
location for the mailspool is the edit the src/authenticate.c file,
then recompile and reinstall procmail.  While there are plans to make
it simpler than that, currently you have to recompile.  Setting the
DEFAULT and/or ORGMAIL variables inside the /etc/procmailrc file is
not sufficient: procmail checks the permissions and ownership of the
mailspool before it reads the /etc/procmailrc file, so the compiled
in mailspool location will still be created as a zero-length file.

I need to eliminate those zero-length files.

Is the above still true in v3.15.1?
