IMO a separate partition is a very sensible idea, it allows you to
upgrade and re-install the system without losing your precious data.
However in this case a bind mount might solve your problem:
mount -rbind /where-ever/home /home
That didn't work either...
I can execute procmail manually with a test message, and it just doesn't
work when the /home folder is symlinked or bind/rbind mounted. (It works
fine when the /home folder is a "normal" folder.)
No error message is given, which is odd.
