DEFAULT needs to be the name of the default mailbox file not just
the directory it's in. eg:

DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/incoming

If you really want to change the system default, you could
conceivably just possibly maybe put something suitable in
/etc/procmailrc. Recompiling procmail for that sounds like bad
juju, considering the man pages say that no matter what it
recreates /var/spool/mail/$USER if it doesn't exist.

[SLUG] Procmail and default mailbox??

[Subba Rao]

I have upgraded procmail to 3.15 and when I type "procmail -v" I get the
following output.

>> Your system mailbox:/var/spool/mail/subb3

In my $HOME/.procmailrc, I do have the following entries,

>> PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
>> MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir 
>> DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
>> LOGFILE=procmail.log
>> LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail

During procmail compilation, I did not see any option that would allow me to
set my system mailbox to $HOME/Maildir. Can this be done?
