[TriLUG] Mail problems sendmail/procmail/spamassassin

I've set up spamassassin as per the spamassassin howto, and added a 
procmail rule to filter spam to a separate IMAP folder.  It was all 
working nicely, but today, it's ceased to function.  It's a 
"non-parrot".  Now it's all mail.  The bounced message states:

The original message was received at Tue, 22 Oct 2002 13:09:02 -0400
from mail2.mi-corporation.com [209.116.71.23]

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<jtate at dragonstrider.com>
    (reason: service unavailable)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
procmail: Error while writing to "/var/log/procmail"
procmail: Program failure (69) of "/usr/bin/spamc"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable


Any ideas?  I've never used procmail before.  /var/log/maillog has 288 
'procmail[5969]: Error while writing to "/var/log/procmail"' messages, 
which I feel are related.

Thanks,
Joseph
