Okay, that fixed it. It's now delivering mail properly, thanks.

Just to be clear I understand, if I use the following .procmailrc, it
should save all messages with the X-Spam-Status header in xspamstatus,
and everything else gets delivered to /var/spool/mail/user, correct?

DELIVER=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver

:0
* ^X-Spam-Status
| $DELIVER -m xspamstatus

:0
| $DELIVER

This is just a simple test which appears to work the way I outlined,
but wanted to be sure.

Thanks again for sticking with me.
Best,
Alex
