A couple of items:

1. In recipe examples that I've seen, there is a space between the zero and 
second colon in ":0 :".  I don't know if this matters.

2. To test the recipes, make a copy of the mailbox and run formail. (formail 
is installed with procmail.)

cd ~
cp /var/mail/henninb ./henninb2
formail -ds procmail < ./henninb2

If the recipes work, then the problem may be that procmail isn't being 
executed successfully.

Good luck,

Andrew Gould
