[TriLUG] Help with procmail recipe

Jon and Ben,

I am running postfix, procmail, and (I think) UW-IMAP. My 
/etc/procmailrc looks like:

LOGFILE=/var/log/mail/procmail.log
VERBOSE=off
ORGMAIL=/var/spool/mail/root

#INCLUDERC="/home/$LOGNAME/.procmailrc"

:0
* ^Subject:.*\[TriLUG\]
/home/jnet/mail/Mailing\ Lists/TriLUG

:0:
/var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME

-----------

The commented out "INCLUDERC" line and the TriLUG rule are there 
because I also can't get procmail to read my ~/.procmailrc file. Don't 
know why. I'm wondering if my issue could be a locking issue related to 
my email client, which checks for new mail (via IMAP) every 60 
seconds...

-Josh

-----------
Due to the recent increase in spam and falsely sent email, I now PGP 
Sign all of my outgoing mail to prove my identity. This means that you 
will see an attachment called "PGP.sig" with this message. This 
attachment can be used to prove that I am who I say I am. If you are 
not familiar with PGP, you can safely ignore it. For more information, 
please visit http://www.pgp.com/ or http://www.gnupg.org/
