The *only* way I know of to "loose" mail via procmail is to direct to
/dev/null. You have the mail somewhere.
Your recipe is faulty and probably did not handle the mail from
mutt-users,
* ^TO.*mutt-users@mutt.org
there is usually a [space] after "TO" in the header which you have not
allowed and the ".*" will consider that and others.
I prefer: * ^Sender:.*mutt.org (not used by all mailing lists)
but "^TO.*" will work fine.
* ^to_mutt-us...@mutt.org
even better
see man procmailrc
man procmailex
