Hi all. I want to read some "enviroment" variables via some config file,

This would cause the file to be loaded for all users, except those manually
invoking procmail as a filter (rather than as an LDA). You could still
perform the INCLUDERC= within a regular rcfile if you wanted.
You might consider just putting the procmail.config in the
/etc/procmailrcs/ dir, since that's a directory already associated with
procmail - no, it won't auto-load from there, but it'll keep your procmail
related stuff in a procmail related place.
Philip Guenther once warned against using /etc/procmailrcs because not
only is it associated with procmail but it has a special meaning that
he suggested might open security holes if used in a way other than its
intended purpose.

I use a a directory hierarchy below /usr/local/share/procmail (linked
to /usr/local/share/procmail-x.xx.x) for all system (non-user) rcfiles.
