[Wiltshire] Serving email

Does anybody know a SIMPLE answer to this please?

My email is now being sent directly to my server by changing the MX record for 
my domain, and correctly delivered to ~/Maildir/ type mailboxes using postfix 
with an aliases file.

Now I want to filter my mail using procmail mainly to dump everything I don't 
want to see into /dev/null/.

I've tried both .forward and the mailbox_command in postfix/main.cf to pass 
the message to procmail methods but I keep ending up with the server hard 
drive thrashing for a couple of minutes then producing a message about a mail 
loop.

The seemingly stupid thing is, the mailbox_command seems to work OK for a test 
account but not for mine Grrr!

Dave
