Luqman wanted us to know:

$ubuntu:> cat /var/log/mail.err
Sep 12 15:11:55 localhost procmail[15694]: Couldn't rename bogus
"/var/mail/user" into "/var/mail/BOGUS.user.C3SD"

$ubuntu:> ll /var/mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root mail   23 2006-09-08 11:24 user ->
/home/user/Mail/inbox

Any idea what could be the reason? I, apparently, continue to
receive emails and have them sorte. Just to be on the safe side and
remove the error message. Waht should I do?

Check mail box permissions, whether the executor of procmail has write
access.

Now, everything is fine with following settings:

user(_at_)user-laptop:~$ ll /var/mail/
-rw-r----- 1 user mail  824 2006-09-17 18:01 user
