Hi Neil,

does not work here...

DEFAULT=$HOME/mail

is set via /etc/procmailrc and $HOME/.procmailrc

(my $HOME/.maildir is called "mail")

-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 18216 Mar 28 17:47 /usr/bin/lockfile
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 92464 Mar 28 17:47 /usr/bin/procmail


eix procmail:

[I] mail-filter/procmail
     Available versions:  3.22-r10 (~)3.22-r11 3.22-r13 {mbox selinux}
     Installed versions:  3.22-r13(05:47:56 PM 03/28/2019)(-mbox -selinux)
     Homepage:            http://www.procmail.org/
     Description:         Mail delivery agent/filter

So, back to the future...reinstalling 3.22-r10 again...

What did I miss here?

Cheers!
