If you redirect the output to a file, the recipe is no longer working as
a filter so the f flag should be removed. You should also tell procmail
to use a lockfile by putting a colon at the end of the first line.
Also you need an asterisk at the beginning of the condition line.
Backslash quoting the dots (other than the first one) in this line would
also be a good idea.
The modified recipe would then be:
