This is what I get with "procmail -v":

procmail v3.14 1999/11/22, Copyright (c) 1999, Stephen R. van den Berg
                                                        <srb(_at_)cuci(_dot_)nl>

Submit questions/answers to the procmail-related mailinglist by sending

And of course, subscription and information requests for this list to:
        <procmail-users-request(_at_)procmail(_dot_)org>

Locking strategies:     dotlocking, fcntl()
Default rcfile:         $HOME/.procmailrc
        It may be writable by your primary group
Your system mailbox:    /var/spool/mail/root

Some questions:
A) is this version "maildir-compatible"?
B) my mailbox (it ain't a mailbox, it's maildir) isn't in that place! Or
better: "root" doesn't have any mail storage, because it's automatically
sent to a REAL USER on my system. Does the line: "Your system mailbox:
/var/spool/mail/root" in some way influence procmail's behaviour?
C) as root's mail is delivered to a real user, should I be putting the
.procmailrc file into the real user's $HOME?

Thank you!
