promail trying to renaming all the mailboxes

what i am missing i have to revert to mail.local :(
It's explained in "man procmail" under "MISCELLANEOUS":
For security reasons procmail will only use an absolute or
$HOME-relative rcfile if it is owned by the recipient or
root, not world writable, and the directory it is con
tained in is not world writable. The $HOME/.procmailrc
file has the additional constraint of not being group-
writable or in a group-writable directory.
If /var/mail/$LOGNAME is a bogus mailbox (i.e., does not
belong to the recipient, is unwritable, is a symbolic link
or is a hard link), procmail will upon startup try to re
---> name it into a file starting with `BOGUS.$LOGNAME.' and
ending in an inode-sequence-code. If this turns out to be
impossible, ORGMAIL will have no initial value, and hence
will inhibit delivery without a proper rcfile.
If /var/mail/$LOGNAME already is a valid mailbox, but has
got too loose permissions on it, procmail will correct
this. To prevent procmail from doing this make sure the
u+x bit is set.
