i heard many no good things about mandrake the past weeks,
months etc.. they usually bork more than everything else
known on the linux market. i may be wrong but that's all
roumors. i wouldn't give much to it if it's only said by
one single person but since i've got several people saying
this, i would take this serious.

btw.: i am using procmail myself and i never had any freezes
or crashes.

.... but .....

please whenever you filter your mails through procmail then
make sure the new mailboxes e.g. ~/mail/newboxname has the
right file permissions set e.g. 0600 here an example of my
~/.procmailrc it's for sure not the best but it works fine
for me and here how my mailbox looks like maybe you get
something usefull out of it.. specially meant are file
permissionflags, directory permissionflags etc...

bash-2.05$ ls -l mail/
total 33384
