Jim
Let me better explain. The actual text is written as:
*^From:(_dot_)*(_at_)c3ntris\(_dot_)com
/dev/null
This is how it is printed in the file and this is how it is executed. I only
put it on one line just so that you knew what I was talking about. Have you
any suggestions:
. as to why Procmail is delivering mail to this folder?
. any suggestions as to why the folder keeps reappearing long after I have
deleted it?

This lacks the :0, a signature of most procmail recipes, so I'm
wondering if the recipe is accurate. Also it's all on one line, though
this may be an artifact of html conversion.
The problem is that Procmail has decided to "turn this rule into a
folder"
and now delivers all mail to it!
You should check your LOGFILE, with the verbose setting. I'm guessing
the recipe is ill-formed though, since procmail interprets the last line
as an action and your condition and action are on the same line, it's
just delivering everything to the string used as a condition. Reading the
manual (man procmail) probably wouldn't hurt.
