I'm beginning to suspect that the mail isn't getting to procmail.

You mentioned in your first post that you were 'fiddling around' before
it stopped working.  Can you rememeber what it was that you were doing?

How is procmail called - directly from your MTA through its config
or via ~/.forward or what?  Have you checked your MTA's logs to see what
it's doing with the mail.

Have you, as Francisco in another post suggested, checked places like
/var/mail/user or wherever the default spool file for your MTA is?
