more ~health/.procmailrc # Maildir procmail setup SHELL=/bin/sh PATH="$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/include:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin: /usr/sbin" MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/ DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL LOGFILE=/var/Procmail/log LOGABSTRACT=all VERBOSE=yes :0 $ORGMAIL I believe that this matches your correct example.
