I don't know the specific answer to your question. But while you're
waiting you could do something like (in /etc/procmailrc):

xLOGFILE=$LOGFILE
xVERBOSE=$VERBOSE
VERBOSE=no
LOGFILE=/pathto/procmaillog.testvars
LOG="$LOGNAME $HOME
"
LOGFILE=$xLOGFILE
VERBOSE=$xVERBOSE

Hmm. I ran this line:
find / -type f -name "procmaillog.testvars" -print
and got this:
find: /proc/6/fd: Permission denied
so, would the path be:
/proc/6/fd/procmaillog.testvars
?

Then send some test messages, or wait for real messages to come in.
When you've seen all you need to, remove the lines from the rcfile and
the logfile, and you haven't cluttered your "real" logfile(s).

What exactly is an rcfile? .procmailrc I presume? And is a .procmailrc file necessary if setting up procmail globally?
TIA,
BenO
