On rereading this several times, I have come to the conclusion
that you are asking about changing directories in order to write
to a specific other dir. Is that a valid conclusion of mine?
I'm thinking _not_. The question, as worded implies that it is for other
users, actually from /etc/passwd.
If this is for an ~/.procmailrc then:
MAILDIR=$HOME
Would work, but if there's no ~/.procmailrc (or, if this is a desired
systemwide setting), for procmail to deliver elsewhere without the benefit
of a .procmailrc telling it as much, then recompiling is necessary.
