i am using procmail to parse delivered messages to qmail in the maildir
structure.

.qmail :

| preline /usr/bin/procmail -m
/var/vpopmail/domains/qtest.pdaplanet.com/andrew1/.procmailrc


.procmailrc:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

Don't override PATH unless you have a particular reason!


HOME=/var/vpopmail/domains/qtest.pdaplanet.com/andrew1

Is this not the home directory of the user under which procmail is
running?


SHELL=/bin/sh
VERBOSE=on
LOGFILE=$HOME/proc.`date +%y-%m-%d`
LOGABSTRACT=all


So, what's the logfile show?


...
the problem is that when a mail is sent to my qmail account regrardless of
the procmail filter, it delivers the following mail to $HOME/Andrewfiles:

Return-Path: <andrew(_dot_)wolverton(_at_)jpsystems(_dot_)com>
Delivered-To: 
qtest(_dot_)pdaplanet(_dot_)com-andrew1(_at_)qtest(_dot_)pdaplanet(_dot_)com

as different file names infinitely. and then delivers the original mail
message prepended with each of the infinitly delivered files like this:


I can't figure out what that sentence is supposed to mean.  Your use of
the word 'infinite' must by hyperbole, but that doesn't help when you're
asking a question.  Something is happening many times: you need to tell
us _what_ is happening many times (describe the repeated symptoms), how
the repetitions vary (just a timestamp?), and how many repetitions there
are.

Besides checking the procmail logfile to see if it shows a loop of some
sort, have you tried checking qmail's logs?
