procmail error or mine?
Greetings, I'm seeing this in the procmail log occasionally

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)

Its not as if I am being drowned in spam, its working pretty good I
think. I refeed it the stuff between 5.0 and 9.9 thats spam, and do
the same for FP but ham with borderline scores, and it seems to be
getting better. Biggest problem is I can't keep up with the
proliferation of lists that dummys CC: on the debian servers. I
finally got upset and had anything that isn't caught by previous debian
filters, tossed in the debian-user box if it came from debian.org at
all.

These two lines are important. I may have left them out of some of
the snips I sent you.
PROCMAILMATCH="X-Procmail: Matched on"
PROCMAILHEADER="X-Procmail: "

<<jdow>>It needs fixing. A look at your procmailrc might help.
Is this the kind of thing you are trying to use:
===8<---
PROCMAILMATCH="X-Procmail: Matched on"
PROCMAILHEADER="X-Procmail: "
:0 fw
* ^List-Id: .*(spamassassin\.apache.\org)

This isn't really a SpamAssassin question, but it looks like you have an error
in your procmail config related to formail. I would definitely look into it.
