That recipe should fail to match, since $TEST does have at least one
non-newline character.
You know, I'm not sure how many times over I need to keep learning the
lesson: Don't Try to Code Procmail When You Need to Go To Sleep. :)
Thanks, David.

It seems to me that it lands in $DEFAULT because procmail
reaches the end
Yes, of course. Thank you for banging on my brain appropriately.

The value of $TEST won't show up in the log unless you log it:
LOG="The value of \$TEST is $TEST, honestly.
"
Yes. That's about what I had done. I didn't bother posting that
part, is all.
My Final Solution (sorry for the bad pun) in my SWITCHRC is now:
# if $TEST and no $REDELIVER, vamoose now; else, fall off end to
$DEFAULT.
:0
* TEST ?? .
* ! REDELIVER ?? ^^(y|on)
{ HOST = byebye }
That allows me to set $TEST (e.g., to "y") on the command line
and stop delivery, unless I set a second command-line var,
$REDELIVER, to "y" or "on". (I use that sometimes to override
X-Loop:, & such, headers that my rc added already, when I'm
sure I know what I'm doing and want to reprocess that mail
anyway but without having to bother to edit the headers manually
to remove those things that will normally interrupt delivery
per my existing rc.
