Hmm, what do the modebits on the .procmailrc file look like?

I'm looking at the procmail code and it looks like it is attempting to
open and fstat the file before switching uids.

Does it happen to work when you add a '-p' flag? It allows passing of
the environment variable and in this 'insecure mode' it procmail will
switch uids before opening if it fails to stat the rcfile.
