Since "local_rx" doesn't exist, procmail will just deliver ALL the messages
in the archive to my inbox.  Is there a way to protect against this?
If you give Procmail a nonexistent file name argument, it won't
continue.

This is bullshit. Sorry for being too fast to reply.

But as a precaution, you might want to add DEFAULT=/dev/null
to the actual command line (although of course, you might mistype that
as well :-)

This will indeed be necessary. 

formail -s procmail DEFAULT=/dev/null ./local_rc

Sorry again for posting misleading advice.
