Bug#267706: exim4: Exim should use procmail if it is installed even if there is not a ~/.procmailrc file

Package: exim4
Version: 4.34-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Procmail defaults to delivering to /var/spool/mail just like exim, and with
this configuration every user doesn't require a dummy ~/.procmailrc file to
use the global procmail rules.
