These rules won't do what you want. They should be:

:0:
* ^To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
debian-english

:0:
* ^To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
debian-spanish

The extra colons tell procmail to use lockfiles, which will avoid potential
problems with receiving two pieces of mail simultaneously. The rules also
needed to be changed...the ".*" means "zero or more characters".

Secondly, you need to set up a .forward that sends all incoming mail
through procmail automatically. Mine looks like:

"|exec /usr/bin/procmail"

That's it...just one line. This makes procmail look at each piece of mail
that comes in.

good luck,
