qmail, procmail and BOGUS mail folders

Since running up2date on my server I have procmail and qmail fighting over my mail folder.

The system is configured to use qmail and seems to (still) do fine for mail arriving from the outside world. The mail is delivered to $HOME/Mailbox

When I'm on the server itself and send mail ie: "mail webmaster" it somehow invokes procmail. procmail decides it doesn't like the symbolic link from /var/mail/webmaster to /home/webmaster/Mailbox and renames it as BOGUS.webmaster.something

I fought long and hard with the system to get it to use qmail and $HOME/Mailbox and all was working fine until that last update. I'm assuming either one of the RPMs changed something to start using procmail that wasn't before or it gave me a new version of procmail where the old had been patched to avoid this behavior.

I figure I have three options:
1) undo the thing that's now using procmail if I can find it
2) patch procmail to use $HOME/Mailbox
3) switch to use /var/spool/mail

Any ideas?
