I use alpine as my MUA.

Starting late last week messages from a mail list are delivered by procmail
to an incorrect file. The recipe for that mail list has worked fine for
years and I've no idea why it stopped working and put incoming messages in
another mail list's file rather than the default, my INBOX.

The use of alpine is unlikely to relevant to your problem.

My first suspicion would be that the list owners changed or upgraded their mailing list software.

First, check to see what the .procmailrc rule for the list is.

Then, open one of the misfiled messages in alpine and press the 'H' key to view the message headers. See if you can match the procmail rule to the message.

If the rule matches, you might want to check to see if prior rules in your .procmailrc also (and mistakenly) match the misfiled message.
