procmail: Executing "/home/someuser/bin/scripts/filter_app"

The most common reason for this is that /home/someuser is on an NFS or
similar shared file system, and the mail server is not the same
hardware architecture or operating system as the shell server where
you log in.

Try placing e.g.

LOG="`uname -a`
"

in your procmailrc to find out what the server is.  If that doesn't
match (to a reasonable approximation) the "uname -a" output from your
interactive shell prompt, you have your answer.

Whether you can then do anthing about it is a different question,
probably needing to be answered by your system adminstrator or mail
hosting provider.
