I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that there hasn't been any response 
because none of the experienced users on this list use cpanel to administer 
procmail.  That would include myself.

If you don't have shell access to the host, diagnostics will be more 
involved than if you do.


 From your original message:

procmail: Match on "^Subject:.*testtest2.*"
procmail: Couldn't determine implicit lockfile from "/usr/sbin/sendmail"

IOW, if FORWARDING (using ! on the action), don't do locking - use it only 
when writing to a file, or invoking a script which you expect doesn't do 
it's own locking or uses static files.

procmail: Executing "/usr/sbin/sendmail,-oi,user(_at_)xyz(_dot_)net"

.. and thus that copy is forwarded

procmail: Bypassed locking "/var/spool/mail/george.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/george"
procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/george"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Notified comsat: "george(_at_)233937:/var/spool/mail/george"

all this implies that the message was written to this 
/var/spool/mail/george file.  Have you checked to see if it exists?  It is 
possible that this host is not retrieving mail from this location (i.e. the 
procmail installation on it isn't correct).  Shell in, and discover where 
your regular mailspool is.
