well, I can't go through it all, but there's one thing that might be key
here: procmail is austere in matching text in messages to wildcards in
regexps to the left of \/ (or in the absence of \/) but greedy to the right
of \/.
So when you have something like,
* ^Subject:[ ]*\/.+
where there is a space immediately after the colon in the actual message,
procmail is very happy to match "zero or more spaces or tabs" to zero spaces
or tabs (austere left of \/) and include the space as part of ".+". To avoid
that, you need to do something like this:
* ^Subject:[ ]*\/[^ ].*
so that the right side of the expression must match a string that starts with
a character that isn't a space nor a tab (nor a newline).
| What does [^ ].* mean as opposed to .* ??
The first means any character that is not a space, a tab, nor a newline, plus
zero or more following characters that are not newlines. The second means
any string of zero or more non-newlines. The second can be null, or can
start with a space or a tab; the first must have at least one character, and
its first character may not be a space, a tab, nor a newline.
