   The procmail issue is very specific; apparently it affects only messages
addressed to me at my business domain. The vanishing messages from gte.net,
a company with its own domain, linkedin.com, the mail log summary, and the
netgear security notices are all addressed to [email protected].

   Every message to a mail list is sorted -- and delivered -- by procmail to
the proper mbox file. Mail addressed to me at my personal domain is plopped
into that mbox file. This leads me to believe that the problem _might_ be
related to /var/spool/mail/rshepard. Except ... I do see new messages in my
INBOX. For example, messages from the Slackware mail list in the UK sent to
me yesterday appeared there. So they were processed by procmail to the
default /var/spool/mail/rshepard.

   Permissions for /var/spool/mail/rshepard are 660 and it's owned by
rshepard.mail. I just now added me to the group 'mail'.

   So, I need help from you folks vastly more experienced than I at tracking
down subtle bugs and system glitches. What information about system status
can I provide? What tests could I run?
