Subject: Puuleease help me with this simple Procmail Problem

This is one of those problems that makes you pull your hair out.

The short explanation:  I am trying to get Procmail to forward email to
certain persons that are on the subject line.

What is happening:  Instead of the mail forwarding out, it is being
placed in a mail folder called "*" and the log file reads:

----------------------------
procmail: Notified comsat: "@8974:/we/home/gweb/Mail/*"
procmail: Skipped "^To.*chris"
procmail: Opening "*"
>From - Sat Apr 26 16:37:31 1997
 Subject: another?
  Folder: *
------------------------------

It appears that it had a problem with the part of the .procmailrc that I
have:

 :0
 * ^To.*chris
 ! [email-masked]

I have tested over and over and it appears that I have everything
correct -- I don't know what is wrong.  Please assist.

Please email your response to [email-masked] -- since my email is
screwy.

    Sorry, but you are not asking in the proper place.  The newsgroups
you posted on are not particularly about procmail.  Did you know that
there is a mailing list dedicated exclusively to procmail?  The address
for subscriptions is

        [email-masked]
