Do you have the $DELIVERTO macro defined?
That's a special variable that is setup on the TriLUG servers.  In that
case, it expands to a program called "dmail" (or actually, a patched
version called "dmail-trilug") that delivers to the IMAP folders.

If you don't have the specialized MBX setup that we're using on TriLUG,
just leave off the $DELIVERTO part and put the name of the folder. 
Procmail will just deliver locally to the folder in mbox format.

Also, I highly recommend you use a procmail log file.  This will most
likely help you isolate the problem (assuming procmail is actually being
run).  Just put something like this at the top of your ~/.procmailrc:
LOGFILE=$HOME/mail/procmail.log

Then, procmail will log something to that file every time a message
comes through.  (Note: if you leave that log in place, it can get kinda
big after a while if you get a lot of email.)
