1 message .... flushed
prompt> more .procmail/log
[skipping]
procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/spidey/.procmail/rc.maillists"
procmail: Match on "^Sender.*owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG.*"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=freebsd.IN"
procmail: Opening "freebsd.IN"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
