and you surmise: > however judging from the above output it looks like the problem is hit > before my .procmailrc is read. It does indeed look that way. I'd guess that there's an /etc/procmailrc file for the system - that gets invoked before your own rcfile unless you tell procmail not to. You can tell procmail not to by putting the path to your own rcfile on the command line. So, rather than invoking /usr/bin/procmail use /us/bin/procmail /path/to/my/.procmailrc and see what that does for you!
