maildir delivery failed

It is a procmail problem.
If I change postfix to use its own local delivery agent instead of procmail then the mail is delivered fine.
I will now try to work this out.
Any one already solved this issue ?

Just one thing first.
I am using local delivery for local mail. ie: mail for an actual system user and not a virtual domain.
When the first ever email arrives for a local (/etc/passwd) user it tries to deliver it to

Code:

/var/mail/$user

but gets a 'permission denied' error.
When I change postfix to use its own delivery agent instead of procmail it works fine as postfix is delivering to

Code:

/var/spool/mail/$user

Once the maildir is already there then procmail delivery works fine.
How can I get procmail to use

Code:

/var/spool/mail/$user ??

I have put the following into /etc/procmailrc

Code:

# .procmailrc
# routes incoming mail to appropriate mailboxes
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
LOGABSTRACT=yes
SHELL=/bin/bash

cat /var/log/procmail.log

Code:

Is procmail actually a dependency of ispCP or can I just use postfix local delivery agent ?
