Apologies for the length of this please read through it to the end, I need professional help . . . Well that's what my work collegues keep telling me anyway 
After a relaxing time on the beaches of the Costa del sol, its back to work on this integration with a vengance.
Before leaving, I cleared my entire site from my host, and just left a simple SHTML page there for holding. When I came back I set up a Mailman mailing list, with pretty much default options, and subscribed to it. Sent a test email from my mail client to the mailing list, and received it back no problems. Onto stage two
Stage Two - Install FUDForum 2.7.5, no problems, Use the test Forum/Test Category and the Admin User to Post a Message - Works fine. Onto Stage 3
Stage Three - Configure the Bridge. Firstly Unlock The Forum Files (Fallen foul of this in the past  ) Files Unlocked, Chmod all the dataroot directories to 777 (as advised in another thread). Then Use Mailing List Manager to set up the bridge. Try a post in the TestCategory to send an email to the mailing list . . . Received . . Great! . Onto Step 4
Step 4 Setup the procmail recipe to pipe messages from the mailing list to the forum. Now this is where I have been coming unstuck. So create a basic .procmailrc with the followingDEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir
SHELL=/bin/sh
PMDIR=$HOME/procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/pmlog
LOG="
"
VERBOSE=yes
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
##INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.subscriptions

One thought I have had is that when I upgrade the forum from 2.7.4 to 5 I took a datadump, uninstalled the old version(Uneccessary I know, but I had choosen the directory structure unwisely, this gave me the chance to do something about it) and created the new directories as
Dataroot - root/.forumdata
Forum Files - root/site/forum
Any other Ideas?
