Thank you Sean,
I have placed
DROPPRIVS=yes
At the top of my /etc/procmailrc file and now have my global spam rule working
perfectly. Thank you for the tip. I have been reading the faq's/tutorials etc
and neglected to check the man pages. I get the impression that not many
people must be using these global rules though ? Is what I am trying to do
here considered best practice ?
Best Regards
Bryan Hunt

Now here's the wierd part. Anything that gets delivered into any of the
$HOME/Maildir/ imap folders will have the correct permissions ie
I don't see any such deliveries taking place in your /etc/procmailrc file -
are these performed *AFTERWARDS* ?
/etc/procmailrc is invoked with root perms, which are shed when control
passes to the users' ~/.procmailrc.
OR, when you use DROPPRIVS. Read the manpages.
