Correction: various variable settings were posted in your message - there's no recipes there.

I usually uncomment the SHELLMETAS line and I get a boatload of reporting in my procmail.log.

SHELLMETAS has nothing to do with logging. It has to do with determining what characters would necessitate launching a shell process to interpret the command string to execute, rather than invoking the command directly - more or less to differentiate between a simple command and something like a shell pipeline.

Has something changed where this wouldn't occur?  I receive the same
contents whether it is commented or uncommented.  I'm also concenred
about the "WARN" in the log.

The warn is the output of something which procmail launched (in this case SA). Note that the _underscore_ is not a numeric. I'm not familiar with the innards of SA, but my guess is that is a version identifier string, and it was being compared against a feature-based version somewhere. Could even be a tring that was retrieved from a remote host (as SPF is a DNS based verification mechanism).

As to the log verbosity, I see nothing like:

        VERBOSE=YES

in your collection of settings.  Perhaps you should set it.
