This should just work. Read "RETRIEVAL FAILURE MODES" in the fetchmail man page. When I try to reproduce the problem with $MAILDIR on a non-existent drive, procmail indeed doesn't fail, but delivers the mail to my home directory instead. Perhaps it would be better if procmail just failed (and maybe it can even be configured to do so), but at least the message isn't lost.
