I didn't realise I was. It must have been a careless cut and paste since
the rest of my lists are filtered just on the address based bit.

I've fixed it now. When I get the chance I'll go through the rest of my
procmail files to check if I've done the same on any others.

At the moment I'm deep in debug mode on one of my boxes that is playing
silly b*****s. I had it powered down for a month or so (it being Windows
and not dual booted yet - I can install Linux to the hd, but not boot -
something to do with the ITE chipst on the controller). When I powered
up it just locked up on me each time I tried to log in, or the
mouse/keyboard would become very intermittent in response. After some
experimentation I worked out that this only happened when I ran my dual
screen setup with one of them in a higher resolution than 640x480. After
testing with a live Ubuntu CD and having similar issues I decided my
nVidia card must be faulty (probably memory) so I bought another. After
several reboots, uninstall and reinstall of the graphics drivers a few
times everything settled down. I've just rebooted after a Windows Update
and I'm back to square one :(

This is all taking me away from earning money and, more importantly(?)
clearing some space for a rack and some new (to me) servers in my rather
cramped office. I still haven't got my head around transporting the
thing yet!
