Hi Nick,
Thanks for your comments. I'll re-edit because I think this could be
useful for others in the future... but first...
The point was that you need to get the :'s and the 0's around the right
way. I got it wrong and that stuff up my filter. Do you not think I
made my point? Do I need to reword it?
Personally I don't understand what the :'s and the 0's are for anyway.
What you're saying is that I need to add some more information. Ok,
that's fine, I'll do that, but first some questions...
1. mbox or maildir
How do I know which one I'm using? Making the assumption that I've been
given the account and I'm setting this up for the first time and I just
installed what ever the distro gave me and I know stuff all about mail
systems, how do I work out what I should be doing?
2. More resources...
Can you recommend some more resources that I should include links to?
3. Regular Expressions
Is that explained on the clug web site? (I'll check) Can you recommend
any other resources?
My update assumes you know what RE is... that's bad, I didn't when I
started stuffing about with procmailrc. It's a total show stopper so I
think I should linkie-linkie that one was well.
TFYH
Cheers Don

Also you are wrongish about :0 not 0:
At times you need the trailing : - usually when you want to lock the
mailbox file for the operation in question. This is usually necessary
when using mbox (eg mbox has a file per folder. You do not want an imap or pop
client deleting messages from the middle of a file whilst
procmail is writing a new message to the end. So:
:0: locks the mailbox and is needed for mbox
:0 doesn't, and is fine for maildir. maildir is specifically written to
get around the need to lock mailboxes, it has one file per message, and
a new message cannot be written to by anything else whilst the message
itself is being written.

Following my issues with procmailrc I've updated the wiki with some
hints for next time...
However I've run aground with the formating...
I wanted bold headings and ended up with bullet points.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong.
Cheers Don
Misc: "!", "!!", "!!!" make headings
