Due to a few errors with my procmailrc file I have ended up with all

Is there anyway I can "rescan" that file to get the now working
receipes to toss the email into their respectful folders?
In the procmail man page, towards the bottom, there is a nice
script that does what I believe you want done:
It's not really necessary to go through all that, it's a useful script
for completely hands-free operation but for the occasional "hand
rescan", it's probably both simpler and better to just
mv $MAIL temporary
formail -s procmail <temporary
If you're scared that moving $MAIL will break some things, you will
need to lockfile -ml and copy, at which point the given script is
worth revisiting, perhaps with the changes you mentioned.
Hope this helps,
