Procmail changes to run as whichever user is receiving the email.  My 
procmail logs all go to ~/Procmail/log:

[benjamin at www benjamin]$ ls -alh /home/benjamin/Procmail/log
-rw-------    1 benjamin benjamin      160 Feb 24 07:12 
/home/benjamin/Procmail/log

The appropriate entries from my .procmailrc (which I have a default in 
/etc/skel)
PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log


HTH,
