This has happened occasionally in the past, but I've never been able
to
track down exactly when. How can the mail NOT be in the mailbox when
procmail didn't report an error?
This sounds like the infamous old "From_" bug, where the first letter
or two from the leading From_ gets mangled. It needs to be present
as the first line of a message for Berkeley Mail folders to work.
Sorry, should have been more clear. I opened the mailbox in vim and
searched. It was not a "^rom " problem. The entire message just was
NOT there.

Often when mail disappears it is caused by a syntax error in one of

recipe to the list.
If there was a syntax error should there have been SOMETHING in the log?
I am starting to suspect that what happened is for some reason the
message was "eaten" in a filter and what ended up being written to the
mailbox was either just a null or a EOL or something. Very odd.
