I use sendmail as the default MTA, and have ~/.procmailrc for filtering

However, in my newly installed system (Lenny), my mails stay in /var/

"Most Linux systems are set up to use procmail as the local delivery
agent by default, so you should not have to set up a .forward."
Or there is something else?
procmail is optional, and so can not be the default MDA
In Debian, sensible-mda(8) is the default MDA, and it, in turn
will use one of procmail(1), maildrop(1), deliver(8), or mail.local(8)
Which ever you choose, make sure there is a a link for it in
/etc/mail/smrsh (you update them with /usr/share/sendmail/update_smrsh)
If all that is kosher, I'll need to some logfile snippets to determine
why the .procmailrc file isn't being used
