I haed a problem for a while with procmail, during which time I lost
some messages.  I assume that when procmail refuses procmailrc it
doesn't just lose the message, but what does it do with them?

providing they have matched *no* procmail recipie, if you have set
$DEFAULT, that is where they will be.  If not they will be where they
would have gone if there was no procmail, probably
 /var/spool/mail/{USER}

Thanks for replying.  I'm not sure just what happened, Patrick.  I had 
accidentally messed up permissions, and I found the message 
regarding 'suspicious procmailrc'.  No messages were delivered.  I have 
already checked MAILDIR (my $DEFAULT) and /var/spool/mail/anne.

I don't *think* I have lost anything too drastic, but there certainly should 
have been logwatch reports and cron reports, none of which have been found.
