Check the permissions on your home directory and the .procmailrc file. Procmail is (rightly) concerned with processing files that have group or other write permissions that are in directories with group or other write permissions. Your home dir should be 0700 and the .procmailrc file should be 0600, IMO. Procmail will accept read permissions for group and other, but I see no reason to be that permissive.
