I appreciate the time you are taking with me. I will try to do a
better job of communicating.
The first part of the recipe runs fine ie. the email is received and
placed in the proper folder. Specifically this runs fine and the mail
is put in the right place:
# Filter mail from special and send notice
:0 hc
* ^FROM(_dot_)*special(_at_)ez(_dot_)net
$DEFAULT
However when I add this snippet procmail goes into an endless loop
for no apparent reason:
# Part two
:0 h
* ^FROM(_dot_)*special(_at_)ez(_dot_)net
| $HOME/notice.pl
Why does it do this?

Thank you for the effort. Unfortunately I get the same result as
before. The notice.pl script goes into a loop and the incoming file
is never delivered to DEFAULT. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Well, what if you DON'T call the notice script. I specifically
changed the order of delivery such that the message should be stored
to the default folder BEFORE calling the script.
Please describe the "loop" issue (refer to my original post where I
inquired why you call this a loop difficulty without describing
*ANYTHING* about looping).
Try turning on verbose logging and examine what procmail is doing:
VERBOSE=ON
(this script)
VERBOSE=OFF
(i..e. you don't need to have VERBOSE on for EVERYTHING).
You might also try setting the 'i' flag for the rule that calls the
notification script. Perhaps it isn't actually reading the message,
and thus the message 'fails' to deliver, and is picked up by another
rule further down your procmailrc.
:0i
| $HOME/notice.pl
See 'man procmailrc' for info on the flags.
