Could be either; depends on how you configured them. It doesn't look like any default value of Procmail's but maybe your system is configured to set up Procmail that way. Do you get log files? By your description, I guess fetchmail doesn't write anything, but passes everything to procmail; and in the absence of any explicit configuration, Procmail will write to where-ever $DEFAULT points to.
Yes.I got some hints like.After the completion of the job, a mail was sent to the user or the account under which the job is running with a "complete" message.
As usual i got a console messge like "You have a mail in /var/spool/mail/arunb".After i check my mail and exit the mailbox with "q" command i got the message like
"Message 11:
From
arunb@seq20.kl03.com Tue May 20 08:05:23 2008
Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 08:05:22 -0400
From: "BArun" <arunb@seq20.kl03.com>
Subject: Output from your job 232
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
complete
? q
Saved 1 message in mbox
Held 10 messages in /var/spool/mail/arunb"
So i think it is something to do with the mail configuration.
Can anypne track this, please help me to avoid this
Regards

forward
FORWARD(5) BSD File Formats Manual FORWARD(5)
NAME
forward -- mail forwarding instructions
DESCRIPTION
The .forward file contains a list of mail addresses or programs that the user's mail should be redirected to. If the file is not present,
then no mail forwarding will be done. Mail may also be forwarded as the standard input to a program by prefixing the line with the normal
shell pipe symbol (|). If arguments are to be passed to the command, then the entire line should be enclosed in quotes. For security rea-
sons, the .forward file must be owned by the user the mail is being sent to, or by root, and the user's shell must be listed in /etc/shells.
For example, if a .forward file contained the following lines:
nobody@FreeBSD.org
"|/usr/bin/vacation nobody"
Mail would be forwarded to <nobody@FreeBSD.org> and to the program /usr/bin/vacation with the single argument nobody.
If a local user address is prefixed with a backslash character, mail is delivered directly to the user's mail spool file, bypassing further
redirection.
For example, if user chris had a .forward file containing the following lines:
chris@otherhost
chris
One copy of mail would be forwarded to chris@otherhost and another copy would be retained as mail for local user chris.
FILES
$HOME/.forward The user's forwarding instructions.
