Your recipe looks ok, but you need to make sure that procmail is actually
being called to process the mail. In your $HOME directory for the account
which is doing the fetchmail fetch from your ISP, create a file called
.forward and put this in it:
"|IFS=' ';/usr/bin/procmail -tf- || exit 75"
That will ensure that procmail runs and that it decides what to do with it
before dropping it in your local mailbox.
