the ${local_part}: tells the director to do the checks for the files
${home}/.procmailrc and /usr/local/bin/procmail, which stops the
permission denied that you were seeing.
The + in front of /usr/local/bin/procmail tells it to treat EACCES
(permission denied) as non existance (so if the user can't run procmail,
don't try). Hrrrm, does this mean the pipe would fail if it was readable
and not executable ?
