procmail creating Maildir files instead of using mbox

2005-07-14 15:18:08
Hi all.  I've started having trouble with procmail.  It has 
spontaneously (as far as I can tell -- I've been using this setup for 
years and haven't changed anything prior to this), started using a 
Maildir system instead of the mbox setup that I am using for one of my 
users. Specifically, it has created new/, cur/, and tmp/ directories 
inside of
/var/spool/mail and put new mail into new/ instead of using 
/var/spool/mail/$USER.

This is what I have at the top of /home/$USER/.procmailrc:

SHELL=/bin/sh
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/$USER
DROPPRIVS=yes
VERBOSE=on
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log

The same thing happened to another user on my machine previously, an 
admin account that is only used to get mail sent to root and 
postmaster.  I ended up trashing that account because I couldn't figure 
out how to fix this.  Now it has happened to my personal mail account, 
which I would rather not trash.

Help please!

Thanks.
