As I understand when procmail reaches the end of the
/etc/procmailrc-courier it dumps the mail at the Default location
unless there is a .procmailrc in the users homedir. So I made the
./home/user/.procmailrc with a test recipe but still all the mail
goes to the Default location.

Can someone give me a direction to look for to get it right
      
It may well be, on your system, that users need to have a .forward
file set up for procmail to be invoked for them.

See Nancy McGough's QuickStart FAQ.

Indeed, the forward file was missing, it's now working (sort off) the system 
wide procmailrc is ignored and the one in the users homedir is processed


Go back to a config where only the /etc/procmailrc file was being used, 
and explicitly include the user .procmailrc if present...


/etc/procmailrc
