[HCoop-Help] Procmail getting bypassed?

[Kenneth Pronovici]

Hi,

I'm seeing something odd with procmail, and I'm wondering whether
anyone else has seen something similar.

I can report on several different observations.

First, I have procmail set up so that nothing *ever* gets placed
directly in ~/Maildir by a rule.  I do set $DEFAULT, but nothing ever
goes there explicitly, and the final rule in my procmailrc should
catch everything and send it to some other folder.  However, some
messages still end up in ~/Maildir -- for instance, there were around
40 in there this morning, even though I cleaned it out yesterday.

Second, the top two rules in my procmailrc should catch each message,
backing it up and marking it with a special header:

:0 c
.backup/

:0 fwh
| formail -A "X-Processed: hcoop procmail $DATESTAMP"

However, I have noticed that messages which end up directly within
~/Maildir do not get backed up and do not contain the header.

Finally, I can never find any of these messages in my procmail logs,
even though I have VERBOSE logging turned on.

It sure seems like procmail is being bypassed for some of my messages,
but I don't see a pattern.

Has anyone else seen behavior like this?  Any suggestions on what to check next?

Thanks,

KEN
