Your syntax is fatally flawed.  You do not want to use an empty
condition.  You also do not have the legit start of a recipe, because
recipes must start with a colon.  Third, you do not want a lockfile on
a filter recipe (the f flag).  (The lockfile is the second colon --
only in your case, it's the first, since what should be the first is
missing.)  Fourth, you can't put recipe flags after a lockfile colon.
Fifth, you don't need to clone a filter recipe (the c flag).  Fifth, I
can't imagine what the h and b flags are for in this recipe.

I've also tried this, too:


None of the samples you gave are working recipes.  None start with a colon.
They all have empty condition lines.  What made you suspect that would
be even close to something that works?  IOW, where'd you get that bogus
syntax from?  Have you read 'man procmailex'?

Try:

        :0 f
        | /path/extract


-- 
dman
