Thanks Tom for the reply, in going over the permissions I found a dud file
in my procmail dir which caused the hangup. Stupid of me not to go over

I am impressed that you never had to edit the main.cf file. I am
using the stock Mandrake 6.1 but I had to do some head scratching first
up. Thanks again.
