Thanks Nick,
I do have verbose on. I hadn't thought to tail it. However it's not
writing to it anyway.
John is right, I was using root on my laptop to write to the file....
so shoot me.
I'll back out the changes and readd them one at a time.
Cheers Don

I think the permissions fixed half the problem, but it's still not

Now my problem is I'm not getting enough mail thru [1] to be able to
test it.
You've not told us exactly what you added to the file that screwed it up. Back
out the changes one by one.
And if your editor is changing file permissions, ditch it! Sounds very
dangerous.
I've flicked back to MS XP because it's the best [2] test platform for
this sort of problem.
I assume you have to be awake to press send, even in windows,
The best way to diagnose the problem is to bet procmail to verbosely log and
then tail -f the log file.
Cheers Don
[1] [2] - not that I'm suggesting anyone on this list is a troll [3].
[3] - execpt of course those who can't spell.

Just discovered that the mdv2007 tool I was using to edit the file set
the permissions to root only. Suspect the mail system couldn't read it.
Now just waiting for some mail so I can see it working.

Can anyone see what I've done wrong?
I added a bunch of new items at the top of the file and now all my
mail is ending up in my inbox.
