Put this at the top of your .procmailrc:
# Is it addressed directly to myself?
:0:

The latter: procmail gets all incoming mail (if fetchmail is set up
correctly, that is - which I assume is the case), and then puts it in
your folders. Anything that hasn't matched any recipe will end up in
your default mail folder (/var/spool/mail/jspence).
