Can someone provide an example here? I also have done that and maybe I'm
having a problem I didn't know about [g].

from the procmailrc man page:
Comments
A word beginning with # and all the following characters
up to a NEWLINE are ignored. This does not apply to con-
dition lines, which cannot be commented.
CAVEATS
Par. 2:
Don't put comments on the regular expression condition lines in a
recipe, these lines are fed to the internal egrep literally (except
for continuation backslashes at the end of a line).
My question:
Obviously, I can physically put a comment in front of a condition
line; and do so all the time; it works just fine regardless of the man
page statement that condition lines cannot be commented. So there is
some sort of minor paradox here. What am I missing?
Is it the case that procmail parses the comment on the flag line, and
skips condition and action line(s)?
Thanks,
