Yes!
1. Comment out the line in .fetchmailrc which tells it to use procmail as
MDA. I don't think that's necessary ( I don't use it here on a similar
set-up).
2. Just above your "test" procmail recipe, put this recipe just for
debian-user, and make a folder into which procmail can dump the
goods. This list spins out mail regularly - you'll not have long for
a test.
----------------
# Debian user
:0: * ^TOdebian-user@lists.debian.org
debian-user.spool
----------------------------------
4. If that doesn't work rename your .procmailrc - do you get lots of
mail dropped into /var/spool/mail/user including the sort of mail
whioch has hitherto vanished?
5. There is a procmail log file somewhere? - what is it telling you?
Persevere - this system is great once it is set up ;-)
