You should use /etc/procmailrcs/ for generic scripts.
While moving generic rcfiles out of user home directories may be a good
thing, /etc/procmailrcs/ is the wrong place to put them. Rcfiles in
/etc/procmailrcs/ have special meaning in procmail: to quote the manpage:
-m Turns procmail into a general purpose mail filter.
In this mode one rcfile must be specified on the com\xAD
mand line. After the rcfile, procmail will accept an
unlimited number of arguments. If the rcfile is an
absolute path starting with /etc/procmailrcs/ without
backward references (i.e. the parent directory cannot
be mentioned) procmail will, only if no security vio\xAD
lations are found, take on the identity of the owner
of the rcfile (or symbolic link). For some advanced
usage of this option you should look in the EXAMPLES
section below.
So, you should not place an rcfile in /etc/procmailrcs/ unless you intend
to take advantage of the identity changing capability.
