Suzana asked,

| suspicious rc file:/home/users/suzana/.procmailrc

| what does that mean?

That's explained in the procmail(1) manual page -- or maybe procmailrc(5) [I
can't check from here].  It means that at least one of the following is true
of the rcfile or of the directory that it is in:

1. it is owned by someone other than the user or root;
2. it has world-write permission;
3. it has group-write permission and procmail was compiled without the
   special GROUP_PER_USER setting for OSes where every user has a private
   group.

The solution is, well, to fix whichever of those is the problem.
