Yes you right, I've changed my procmailrc to this and it worked:
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
VERBOSE=yes
LOGABSTRACT=all
I will do a deep look at procmail man pages, etc to understand this.
There's really nothing complicated to understand, and I'm not sure you'll
find anything elaborating it in the manpages anyhow. You just want to
define a logfile BEFORE you tell procmail to start logging - in the absense
of a defined logfile, procmail will send its logging information to STDERR,
which is what is stuffing up the works for your mail fetcher.
I would classify this as expected behaviour of any program for which you
can define a logfile and which has options for emitting data to the log.
*NOT* defining a logfile is sometimes useful when running something from
the commandline manually, since you can see the log output right on the
screen (say, for debugging a recipe), though when testing a recipe, I emit
a *LOT* of data which makes that approach not so useful.
