Procmail won't play with Postfix

[Max Blanco]

Do you have sendmail?  The directory /usr/lib/sm.bin/ needs to have a link 
to a "procmail" binary.

Check "tail /var/log/mail.log"
Does it report "attempting to use procmail -f-" then "Service unavailable"?

        $ procmail DEFAULT=/dev/null VERBOSE=yes /dev/null </dev/null
