OK...

I'm still having this problem.
Do you try to communicate that there is no non-linked user owned file
(or maybe folder) around? Because that is needed to 'fool' the ORGMAIL
symlink check.
From your original post: "On my system, a users mbox may be a symlink;
since I use OpenWebmail."
I read that to mean that all users have a proper $HOME with a proper
~/mail folder, but maybe I am reading to much in that.
If ~/mail/ is hard, you can use
ORGMAIL=$HOME/mail/
DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL
From 'man procmailrc':
If /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME is a bogus mailbox [...]
procmail will upon startup try to rename 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.
So another way may be to make sure that ORGMAIL gets no initial value.
And then give it one in /etc/procmailrc.
Now, is there no way to remove the symlink check?
So I just disable that in the code?
But why, if a standard procmail with a simple /etc/procmailrc would do.

"A symbolic link from /var/spool/mail to /usr/spool/mail would work"
Here is a another type of workaround mentioned:

"remove the leading /* from MAILSPOOLHOME"
