Yeah, that update has been giving me and my clients tons of grief all day.
See http://www.solarspeed.net/kb/1053.php as for why it happened and how you
can fix it.
This is why the problem happened:
In the past the Procmail service installed on CentOS stored received emails by
default in ~username/mbox - unless a different directory was specified
in /etc/procmailrc. So even if /etc/procmailrc was missing, emails would be
stored in ~username/mbox.
The system updates contained a newer Procmail, which by default stores emails
in /var/spool/mail/$username, unless a different directory is specified
in /etc/procmailrc.
So on servers which have a missing /etc/procmailrc (remember: this file wasn't
necessary before) emails will end up in the wrong place.
Again, see the URL above for a fix. It has a script that you can run to
recreate the missing /etc/procmailrc and it'll also move all emails to where
they belong.
