It never gets that far.  The problem is that it looks for the compiled
in location, and errors out immediately.  It was a known problem at
procmail.  When I looked at the rpm, it claimed to have fixed the
problem, but it is acting exactly like they claimed it would at
procmail.  I think this needs to be a separate package.  I have seen
another distro (Debian I think), and was hoping to find similar for
Fedora.  In that distro, they had a procmail package, and a
procmail-maildir package.  In other words it was compiled twice.
Fedora's behavior is broke when used with maildirs and per the
maintainers instructions.

Why procmail can't look for a config file like every other F*&%ing
program on the planet before using a default is beyond my comprehension.
