1. You do have a directory ~/mail?

2. You do have an mbox-file or a maildir called Inbox in aforementioned?

3. In that case I guess it _should_ work; I however always write my recipes like so:


:0: 
* ^Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD\.ORG
$MAILDIR/fbsd-questions
^^^^^^^^\_________________ like this.

...and I define my default inbox as a variable early in my .procmailrc:
# Everything else is automagically put in $DEFAULT.
:0:
$DEFAULT
^^^^^^^^------- like this.

You could try this and see where it gets you (hopefully not astray :-)
