Hello Joe,

I ran in the problem a few weeks ago. You must use dovecot for delivery 
in your procmailrc. I have

----------

DELIVER=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver

:0
* ^Subject:.*apt-listchanges
| $DELIVER -m apt-listchanges

----------

-m mailbox
Destination  mailbox  (default  is INBOX).  If the mailbox doesn't 
exist, it will not be created (unless the lda_mailbox_autocreate setting 
is set to yes).  If a message couldn't be saved to the mailbox for any 
reason, it's delivered to INBOX instead.
