Thanks! it was the permission of the home directory itself that caused
it not to work.

This is ok afaik:

Is that OK? The manpage says:
The $HOME/.procmailrc file has the additional constraint of *not being
group-writable or in a group-writable directory*. Also, mustn't
overlook
the permissions home directory itself.
I realize you're using "individual user group ids" (whatever the
terminology
is) but I believe that restriction still holds true. In any case, mine
are
0600 and work:
[mailings(_at_)server: ~]$ ls -la .procmailrc
-rw------- 1 mailings mailings 7.7K Sep 2 22:41 .procmailrc
[mailings(_at_)server: ~]$ ls -ld /home/mailings
drwxr-xr-x 12 mailings mailings 4.0K Sep 3 10:57 /home/mailings
In any case, if ~/.procmailrc seems to be skipped completely, I'd
certainly
check permissions.
