Procmail issue

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

a) selinux doesn't exist on this box
b) doesn't matter where the log file is

And related to a), I have two other accounts that are successfully logging
to /var/log/procmail.  They dump custom messages.  The differences I see is
that those recipes have this at the top, under the LOGFILE line:
LOGABSTRACT=off

And neither of them have an explicit 'VERBOSE=yes' (or 'on') line.
