You might need to do something other than the / to indicate Maildir. I
don't remember and don't have time to read the man page for you.

Turn up debugging.

LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/proclog
LOGABSTRACT=all
VERBOSE=off

Then you can follow along in your proclog to see what procmail is doing.

Don't forget your failsafe for when you work with procmail.

# make a backup of all incoming mail before going on to sort mail...
:0 c
backup

:0 ic
| cd backup && rm -f dummy `ls -t msg.* | sed -e 1,200d`
