I get output in my Procmail log file (on RH7.2) similar to the following

I am in the midst of moving postfix/procmail/email sanitizer to another
server (RH8.0) and on that one, while I am using the same
mailbox_command and the same /etc/procmailrc, the output I am getting in
my Procmail log file is:

Folder: /var/spool/mail/michael
1

A recipe is being processed that has the 'f' flag but whose action doesn't
actually produce any output.  Procmail continues processing from there
with a zero-length message.  When it actually delivers that to $DEFAULT
procmail adds a newline, thus the size of one shown in the log.

So, you need to find that recipe and figure out whether a) the recipe
was supposed to perform final delivery instead of filtering the
message and therefore should not have the 'f' flag, or b) the command
in the action is broken in some fashion.  Start by looking in the
/etc/procmail/html-trap.procmail rcfile and verify that every command
it mentions exists and operates correctly.
