Re: [gentoo-user] OT - procmail: Error while writing to "/var/log/procmail"

[William Kenworthy]

Depending on how its set up, procmail will run with the permissions of
the user/script/mailer calling it.  Maybe postfix, or individiual users
etc.

Your logfile is owned by root, and write only root so thats probably
where the problem lies.
