 Check the *procmail* log.

Sound advice.

 Are you sure you can use bare '@' symbols in conditions?

Yes.  The following is from my (working) .procmailrc:

: hecate:/home/giorgos grep '@' .procmailrc | tail -2
: * ^sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
: * ^delivered-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
: hecate:/home/giorgos

My bet would be that something will be obvious in there.

It's ok.  If you don't use an absolute path, procmail appends the
mailbox path of the rule to ${MAILDIR}/, which is already set to a
correct value in an earlier line ;-)
