Thanks David and Francisco for your replies.

Yeah, me too. I don't know why though.

I was playing with the recipes by copying them onto my computer using
nautilus (ftp) and copying them back. It occurs to me maybe that
something has gone screwy with the permissions, although I wouldn't
recognise the problem if I saw it, I suppose. Here they are:

Relevant files in ~ are:

- -rw-------   1 mdke pg596143  154 2006-11-04 07:57 .forward.postfix
- -rw-rw-rw-   1 mdke pg596143  456 2006-11-10 13:42 .procmailrc

~/procmail is:

- -rw-rw-rw-   1 mdke pg596143   229 2006-11-10 00:09 bounces.rc
- -rw-rw-rw-   1 mdke pg596143   118 2006-11-10 00:09 bugmail.rc
- -rw-------   1 mdke pg596143 76646 2006-11-09 00:06 log
- -rw-rw-rw-   1 mdke pg596143  1311 2006-11-10 00:09 mailinglists.rc

It's called from ~/.forward.postfix (I am using dreamhost hosting). For
completeness, it says:

"| /usr/bin/procmail -t"

I can't find anything useful in those places, and I don't think that I
have access to the mail log files.
