Your $SHELL is wrong. The $LOG line is superfluous too. Finally,
you haven't set a $DEFAULT. Man procmailrc for info on all of these.
Here are some recommended settings; this is a complete working
.procmailrc that you can add on to after you have your setup working:
=====
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH="$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT="inbox"
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log
LOGABSTRACT=all
# Explicitly catch mail in $DEFAULT, even though procmail does it too.
:0 :
$DEFAULT

This isn't quite right either. Use this, exactly like it is here
(quotes and all):
"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #chip"

You need to set the 'mailboxes' variable in your .muttrc to point
to your new inbox location, $HOME/Mail/inbox.
Once you've got all this working, you can add FreeBSD-list mailbox
filtering by placing the contents of the file below in your
.procmailrc (before the $DEFAULT recipe).
