with no conditions, it always matches.


So, if one of the other recipes matches, Procmail will then not try to
match any of the other recipes?

No, procmail tries recipes in order.  When it gets to one that matches, it
does the action.  If that action is a "delivering" action (see man page
for definition of "delivering") nothing else will happen UNLESS you have a
flag that causes it to continue.

So if you put the above at the END of your recipe file, and an earlier
recipe with a "delivering action" matches, the above will not even be
examined.
