Is there any particular reason you're passing mail directly from fetchmail to procmail and skipping the MTA? I've used fetchmail for years and I always have it hand off to sendmail which then invokes procmail for local delivery and I've never had a problem with it.

I made an experiment changing mda to /bin/cat. On screen I've got my post changed. Seems procmail is ok but fetchmail does something strange.
