Goodness, no!

  Didn't think so.
 
Next step, I'd say, is to do as Fred Morris suggested and put something into
the message to show that procmail got to it; that way, when spam shows up in
your inbox, you can see whether procmail saw it at all.  Between the LOGFILE
assignment and the INCLUDERC call,

 :0hfw
 | formail -A "X-Procmail-Saw-This: on $HOST, using $_"

  Done.
 
and see whether the slippery messages have that line.  (I was thinking of a
somewhat different approach, but the syntax that finally worked was
horrible, so let's stick with Fred's idea.)

As another diagnostic measure, add this up there after the assignment of
MAILDIR but before calling the INCLUDERC:

 DEFAULT=default

  Done.
 
(By the way, "SPAM" in all capitals is Hormel's trademark for their canned
pork product.  Their lawyers greatly prefer that people denote junk email
or netnews posts with the lower-case "spam," or "Spam" at the beginning of
a sentence.)

  The taste is about the same for the two. :-)

  Actually, it's all uppercase so it's listed early in the list of mail
folders. And, once I get the recipes working properly it'll go away.

  I'll be happy to send my UCE to Hormel if they want to deal with it.

Many thanks,
