I've created a .procmailrc which is meant to filter all mail into a

everything as spam. I've tracked the problem down to somewhere in this
recipe.
And VERBOSE=ON tells you what? You HAVE run the rules with VERBOSE=ON, right?
:0:
# .*ylug
* ^To.*ylug.*|\
# Foxxfire
As a general rule, I don't mix comments in with the rule conditions. Not
the least of the problems is how do you consistently allow for a line
continuation from within a comment, without assuming the continuation
itself is a comment?
If you ran with logging on, this problem would become pretty clear:
procmail: No match on "^To.*ylug.*|# Foxxfire"
procmail: Skipped "^To.*procmail.*|\"
procmail: Skipped "^From.*procmail.*|\"
procmail: Skipped "^TO_general-list(_at_)linuxprinting\(_dot_)org(_dot_)*|\"
procmail: Skipped "^From.*Fatalis.*|\"
procmail: Skipped "^From.*Randy Entinger.*|\"
procmail: Skipped "^From.*soappuppy.*"
procmail: Skipped "mbox"
Further (though it has nothing to do with your rule failure), the .* AFTER
the desired key text is superfluous -- you're saying ZERO OR MORE
characters, in which case, NOTHING is perfectly acceptable, so why bother
with the specification?
:0:
* ^.*
spam
Uh, no need for a CONDITION here which is a waste of cycles, just dump away.
