I just rebuilt my server a few days ago, installing Debian "jessie" from
scratch. Previously it ran "wheezy". I am using fetchmail and procmail to
deliver the inbound mail to the users, but despite setting up the
configurations so the mail will be delivered to /home/<user>/mail/inbox,
procmail insists on delivering to /var/mail/<user>. I have tried everything of
which I can think, to no avail. For temporary purposes, I have a cron script
running that detects any new mail and tosses it to the appropriate inbox, but
this causes an additional delay of up to 2 minutes in mail delivery, and in any
case represents something of a kludge.
