We just upgraded to,

$ procmail -v

$
--------------------------------------------------
and I've noticed that mail is not delivered to $DEFAULT after procmail
drops off the end of ~/.procmailrc (as it did in v3.05). Specifically,
I need to add
:0 :
$DEFAULT
to the end of my ~/.procmailrc to get the desired result. Otherwise,
the logfile says,
----------------------------------------
[ No match lines elided ]
...
procmail: No match on "^From:.*sun1.wwb.noaa.gov"
procmail: Locking "/var/mail/mdb.lock"
procmail: [26787] Wed May 28 12:11:45 1997
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/mail/mdb"
procmail: Opening "/var/mail/mdb"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Unlocking "/var/mail/mdb.lock"

Subject: test again
Folder: /var/mail/mdb 641
procmail: Notified comsat: "mdb(_at_)1891:/var/mail/mdb"
----------------------------------------
and the mail remains in /var/mail/mdb. I have these variables defined
in my ~/.procmailrc,
----------------------------------------
# Please check if all the paths in PATH are reachable, remove the ones
# that are not.
SHELL=/bin/sh # for other shells, this might need adjustment
#PATH=$HOME/bin:$HOME/perl5:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin

Thanks for any help and advice (please CC me any replies, as I am just
about to join the mailling list and don't want to miss any replies).
