I use uw-imapd-ssl, postfix and procmail to deliver email. I didn't do
any system related changes (no config file changes, no apt-get fun) and
suddenly my procmail filters don't work, all email is delivered into
inbox and I get the message in subject in syslog, here's the relevant
part:

-------------------------------------- syslog quote start

-------------------------------------- syslog quote end

  /home/erik/.procmailrc (comments deleted so that it's shorter)

-------------------------------------- .procmailrc start
VERBOSE=no
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/listsrc
-------------------------------------- .procmailrc end

  when I run procmail -version it says:

-------------------------------------- procmail version start
jojda:~>procmail -version
procmail v3.15.2 2001/07/18
... [copyright and contact info snipped]
Locking strategies:     dotlocking, fcntl()
Default rcfile:         $HOME/.procmailrc
        It may be writable by your primary group
Your system mailbox:    /var/spool/mail/erik
-------------------------------------- procmail version end

  it used to have 664 permissions but I changed it to:

-rw-------    1 erik     erik          660 May 12 19:41
/home/erik/.procmailrc

  and it still complains!

  any ideas?  TIA.
