Your $SHELL is wrong. The $LOG line is superfluous too. Finally,=20
you haven't set a $DEFAULT. Man procmailrc for info on all of these.
Here are some recommended settings; this is a complete working
=2Eprocmailrc that you can add on to after you have your setup working:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
SHELL=3D/bin/sh
PATH=3D"$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/s=
bin"
MAILDIR=3D$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=3D"inbox"
LOGFILE=3D$MAILDIR/log
LOGABSTRACT=3Dall
# Explicitly catch mail in $DEFAULT, even though procmail does it too.
:0 :
$DEFAULT
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

This isn't quite right either. Use this, exactly like it is here
(quotes and all):
"|IFS=3D' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #chip"

You need to set the 'mailboxes' variable in your .muttrc to point
to your new inbox location, $HOME/Mail/inbox.
Once you've got all this working, you can add FreeBSD-list mailbox
filtering by placing the contents of the file below in your
=2Eprocmailrc (before the $DEFAULT recipe).
