I hope this give you better picture about my problem,
Not really. I now know, or have nothing more than a strong suspicion of
the following:
* apparently the mailbox we're talking about isn't YOUR mailbox (a minour
factoid not shared in the original message, which gave the strong
impression that it was YOUR mailbox we were talking about).
* if the line is the ONLY line in the file (another new factoid, and
somewhat contradictory to your original statement at it was merely always
at the TOP of the file), surely the *DATESTAMP* of the file can be compared
to the procmail log to see what message passed through around that
time? Or, if this is a system mailbox, to the maillog to see when you last
retrieved mail from the mailbox?
* You're probably not inspecting a VERBOSE logfile, which would have more
details about what was filtered and which recipes took action, rather than
being a From_, Subject, and delivery summary.
* I don't know if you're talking about the system mailbox, or a mailbox
file that procmail has delivered a message to. In either case, how do you
know that the problem isn't being caused by procmail and not some other
program - from the users MUA or the IMAP/POP daemon?
* I don't know what's in your .procmailrc (or /etc/procmailrc, or whatever
procmailrc you're blaming for this problem). Try searching it for lines of
hyphens...
