Do you have logging enabled? I won't pretend to understand everything procmail dumps to logs, but it certainly helps to have an audit trail. There's also a verbose option. You can also set a DebugBox to which all mail is dumped. If you run this early, it's also a good place to find things you'd otherwise trashed ;-) -- Karsten M.
