I'd not come across this before, so checked... and in my setup the
output for 'default INBOX' is incorrect. It states:
Default rcfile: $HOME/.procmailrc
It may be writable by your primary group
Your system mailbox: /var/mail/athan
But I have:
11:00:37 0$ grep DEFAULT .procmailrc
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/.catchall/
So if you have a DEFAULT setting in .procmailrc, check that.
