This doesn't answer your direct question, but my first procmail rule
copies the message to an archive mailbox. That way if I screw up the
later rules, I can still see the original message.
My rule for this is:
:0 c:
$HOME/mail/archive/backup
(backup is in mbox format)
I also have this at the top to see what procmail's doing:
LOGFILE=$HOME/log/procmail.log
#add a line between each entry for readability
LOG="
"
#applies to log
VERBOSE=yes
I use logrotate to trim both the backup mailbox and the procmail log
file.
