  I use the following to make backups when testing recipies

:0
* BACKUP ?? on
{
   :0c
   backup

   :0ic
   | cd backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,150d`
   
   SPAMDEST=/dev/null
}

  which requries that you have the following variables set toward the top
of your .procmailrc file

    BACKUP=<on or off>
    SPAMDEST=<spamfolder>

-- 
      S.Toms - smotrs(_at_)mindspring(_dot_)com - www.mindspring.com/~smotrs
                   SuSE Linux v7.0+ - Kernel 2.2.18

Remember, even if you win the rat race -- you're still a rat.
