Best change to:

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/
DROPPRIVS=YES

(yes, the slash at the end of DEFAULT is meant to be there)

Why in a central place?

Alternative:

LOGFILE=$HOME/log/procmail.log

Looks quite wrong, best change all that to just:

  :0
  * Quarantine Release Notification
  .Spam/


> :0 H

That can conveniently be combined with the previous one to just this:

  :0
  * 9876543210^0 Quarantine Release Notification
  * 9876543210^0 SPAM....:
  .Spam/

As I showed above:
1. don't use the lock-flag nor the H-flag
2. don't mention the "cur", just deliver to .Spam/
(procmail knows how to do maildir type delivery)

or in short: replace your code (2+1+6+6 lines) with mine (3+1+4 lines).
