MAILDIR is not set, so it defaults to $HOME.
Does your "main offsite user" even have a $HOME? What user is this being
run as? Check its home...

This would deliver in *mbox* format into $MAILDIR/almost-certainly-spam

Here you specify *MH* format, delivering into $MAILDIR/spam/

procmail is not being run as user mail. See DROPPRIVS in man procmailrc.
You should sort out *where* to deliver, and what *format* to use. Also
it seems the user procmail runs as is not allowed to write to the
delivery destinations -- and/or does not have a $HOME.
You will see the failed delivery attempts and falling through to the
next recipe / default mailbox in the procmail logs, once they are
writable...
