[snip other rules]
Since you are dealing with mbox, you need:
:0:
* ^FROM mauro.sacchetto@gmail.com
$MAILDIR/gmail
Note the colon after the ":0", this is because mbox needs a lockfile.
man procmailrc

Only what I've pointed out above. There is also an example procmail man
page with "ex" in the name. I now use maildrop so can't remember the
exact name. :-)
dpkg -L procmail
will list all the files which came with the procmail package.
Hope this helps.

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
