How do I go about making it save mail in /var/mail in MAILBOX format
by default?
Is /var/mail really where you want to save it like that?
Normally, I'd choose the user's home directory, in which case, the
statement in /etc/procmailrc is:
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
It's not the "Maildir" that does it, but the trailing "/".
But I expect that the effect you are looking for could be had as
follows:
DEFAULT=/var/mail/$LOGNAME/
It's just that I would advise against it... as /var/mail is "expected"
to be full of mbox files, and who knows what surprises await you....
