http://markmail.org/message/4wghlnywxuljwmnh - you will want to start 
/etc/procmailrc with

DROPPRIVS=YES

My working /etc/procmailrc is as such:

paulproteus at rose:~ $ cat /etc/procmailrc
DROPPRIVS=YES
LOGFILE="${HOME}/procmail-log"
MAILDIR="${HOME}/Maildir"
DEFAULT="./"
paulproteus at rose:~ $

I should be using Dovecot Deliver but haven't still gotten around to it.
