[Spambayes] Procmail problem

    Calin> Basically, these are the two relevant procmail recipes:

    Calin> # test for spam
    Calin> :0 fw
    Calin> | /usr/bin/sb_filter.py

    Calin> # is it spam? if so save to spam mbox 'folder'
    Calin> :0
    Calin> * ^X-Spambayes-Classification: spam
    Calin> spam

I don't see anything obviously wrong, however here are two suggestions:

* You probably need to specify the lock file to use for the test,
  because procmail won't be able to deduce one.  My sb_filter rule looks
  like this:

    :0 fw:ham.lock
    | /Users/skip/local/bin/sb_filter.py

* Set these at the top of your .procmailrc file:

    LOGABSTRACT=yes
    VERBOSE=yes
    LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail.log

  then look in .procmail.log for procmail error messages or Python
  tracebacks.  (You may already have something to look at.  I don't know
  what procmail's default logfile name is.)
