Joe:
You should write that recipe as:
:0
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/var/spool/mail/joehill
>From man procmailrc:
=======
A line starting with ':' marks the beginning of a recipe. It has the
following format:
:0 [flags] [ : [locallockfile] ]
<zero or more conditions (one per line)>
<exactly one action line>
=======
So it looks like the recipe is waiting for an answer from
/var/spool/mail/joehill.
