I can see from your verbose procmail log that the error occurs on line 36
of your .procmailrc file.
Unfortunately, the dates of the underscore files and the procmail.log don't
match; so I don't have any valid logs that would be of help. Hence their
absence.
The questions were more from the aspect, if experienced procmail users new
how the file names were generated; and why they may be left behind -- and if
procmail could be
reconfigured to use other directories than the default mail spool.
I will continue monitoring, to see if anything shows up in the log file and
reply; but at this point there is no
log entries in relationship to my questions.
