I assume you meant:
---
    defaults mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m /homes/sjm217/.procmailrc"
---
Which does indeed work :-) Thanks.

The output of the verbose run is the same as before (minus the error message) 
and when the verbose switch is removed it produces no output (which is what I 
would like).

Everything now works as expected so I can go on with copying over my spam 
filtering rules (which are very simple but very effective for the classes of 
spam I get).

Thanks again,
Steven Murdoch.
