The purpose of FEATURE(local_procmail) is to make the "local" mailer
use procmail; it's just a simple way of setting the
LOCAL_MAILER_{PATH,ARGS,FLAGS} variables.

Consequently, you should also use MAILER(local), otherwise
FEATURE(local_procmail) has no purpose.

MAILER(procmail) is orthogonal. It adds a separate "procmail" mailer,
but doesn't affect the "local" mailer. The "procmail" mailer won't
actually get used for anything without additional actions, e.g. adding
mailertable entries which use it.
