The problem is that email with subject "Subject: " or no subject at all are been lost. Do you know why? Is there something wrong with my recipe?

Suggestion, which should be in the FAQs, and if not, it's been suggested pretty regularly - set:

        VERBOSE=ON

in the .procmailrc, then send a message which meets the criteria.

We must *ASSUME* that $list is set to something, though you kindly omit what it is. Also, I must *ASSUME* that when you say "lost" that you mean that such messages are simply not processed -- the rules you present here don't do any message discarding.

FTR, a whitespace subject would result in the first rule setting the subject to "[$list] ", a blank subject would result with "[$list]", and a non-existant subject header triggers the second rule, setting "[$list] <none>".

Methinks you should enable verbose logging and check your logs. I suspect you have rules besides the above, and that is what is discarding or otherwise rerouting the message. The log will tell you.
