This is apparently from the TO_ macro. I don't understand
the need for the one term excluding alphanumerics. But since
the whole term is optional with ?, I don't see how it can affect
the result.
I haven't the wit to understand the macro but it seems to be peculiar
to procmail AFAICT
One simple approach might be to try a simple ^To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
to see if that works, then building up this formula piece by piece to
see where it starts failing.
Thanks Chris, I'll try that
procmail: Assigning
"INCLUDERC=/home/clive/Procmail/rc.subscriptions"
procmail: No match on "^Subject:.*test"
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/clive/Procmail/rc.testing"
procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/home/clive/Mail"

I am collecting mail every 10 minutes (cron job) and I've been sending
test messages with the subject " a test 1 " etc. I'm also receiving
Your recipe for test says the subject must _end_ with 'test'.
I did wonder about that and tried it with *test* in the recipe which
didn't seem to make any difference. Looking through the various
examples it seems that procmail looks for the string and ignores what
comes after - but maybe I've misunderstood - I'll have another look.
