Re: procmail & safecat problems

AFAIK, procmail doesn't need to use safecat - it can write safely to Maildir by itself. You can just use:

:0
* ^X-Span-Status: Yes.*
${SPAMDIR}/

...ensuring you have the trailing slash to tell procmail that it is a Maildir.

But your original problem seems to be here. Clearly one of your paths is wrong or non-existent.
