Hi Nigel.
You could post to the (very active) procmail mailing list.
I did some procmail stuff years ago and my experience with the help on that list was very
good!

I believe you can tell procmail to run with logging, and you can also
adjust how much info is logged.
Does it affect all your mailboxes or just ones over a certain size?
Could be a use
It'd help if you attached the logs as well.
