Procmail is a weird and magical beast and its ways are most mysterious. Meaning it's a big pain in the ass for new users and old, tired users are not willing to build something more friendly because they've all suffered through making it work for them.

I'm using :0H * ^X-spam-status: yes { # do something ... } The braces and the 'H' are probably unnecessary. Try adding the following to the top of .procmailrc (adjust home directory as necessary): HOME=/path/to/your/home/directory VERBOSE=yes LOGFILE=${HOME}/procmail.log DROPPRIVS=yes Check procmail.log for clues.
