procmail: Missing action

And here is the receipt for promail-list:
:0
* ^(To|Cc):(_dot_)*procmail(_at_)informatik\(_dot_)rwth-aachen\(_dot_)de
{
   : c
   /var/spool/mail/sherzodr

   :0
   procmail-list
}


First off, am I doing the things right?

1. You should add ":" to the end of both of the action flag lines - that locks the file from being written two by two simultanious email messages.

2. if /var/spool/mail/sherzodr is the default mailbox, you could use $DEFAULT in place of that path. OR, you could eliminate that rule and add a 'c' flag to the procmail-list delivery and let the message continue along through your rcfile (perhaps being filtered by another condition, or falling through to the default mailbox delivery in the end).

 Second, what "Missing action"?

Enable VERBOSE logging. I'd wager that it's a filter *PRECEEDING* the one you show above, which might appear like:

:0
* somecondition

(note no action line)
