One minor nit is that it's usually recommended to escape literal periods

Bryan,

  That's not been an issue over the past couple of decades.


The only thing I can think of is that there is a rule above that one which
messages from that list hit first, and therefore get put into that file
instead of the one you've indicated. Does anything change if you move this
rule higher up in the ruleset?

  I thought of this but hadn't tried changing this rule's place in the list.
Just did so now, moving it near the top.

Failing that, it appears that procmail has been unmaintained since
2001 and fuzzing efforts have discovered several bugs in it. [1][2]

  How interesting! I had no idea. I've used procmail since 1997 and never
thought about it. Only yesterday I learned that teTeX is still (through
14.2) distributed with Slackware while the author stopped supporting it a
very long time ago. I replaced it with TeXLive back then and that's the
TeX version starting with the soon-to-be-released 15.0. I'm surprised that
procmail wasn't replaced years ago.

I've been using "fdm" for... so long I can't even remember.
Probably about 10 years or so by now.  I can recommend fdm as a
good and powerful MDA if you're willing to consider switching to
an alternative. [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fdm

  Of course I am.

  Thanks for your response. Slackbuilds.org has fdm so I'll build, install,
and learn how to use it.

Best regards,

Rich
