Here goes the report.

I used this procmail file:


VERBOSE=on
DEFAULT=$HOME/tmp/Mail/OutDefault
LOGFILE=$HOME/tmp/Mail/procmail.log
LOG=`echo -n "+++----> ";date --iso-8601=seconds ; echo`
LOG=""

:0
* ^Received: from correo.foo.es
{
        :0
        * ^Received: from (ruebert.ieee.org|engine.ieee.org|hormel3.ieee.org|boldfish.ieee.org|aries3.ieee.org)
        $HOME/tmp/Mail/OutIEEE

        :0
        * ^FROM_DAEMON
        $HOME/tmp/Mail/Out_daemon

        :0
        $HOME/tmp/Mail/Out_foo         
}


and run using this line:

time formail -ds procmail -m procmailrc < IN_foo

(it run in about 22 seconds)

Result was this:

64288119 2005-09-05 19:31 IN_foo
   87043 2005-09-05 20:01 OutDefault
64193756 2005-09-05 19:57 Out_foo
    8591 2005-09-05 19:58 Out_daemon
  461624 2005-09-05 19:52 procmail.log
     695 2005-09-05 19:51 procmailrc


Then I read the mailboxes and saw that IN_foo had 401 messages, and 
Out_foo just 400, one missing. But then, OutDefault had 11, and Out_daemon 
1. They don't add, the entry mbox had 401. Funny. The entry mbox had 
64,288,119 bytes and the three output mboxes, have, added together 
64,289,390. The byte count matches, at least.

The OutDefault mbox has 5 "funny" emails, broken inside. One, for example, 
contains only this (looking at the full headers in Pine):

Content-Type: text/html; name=3D"text2.html"; format=3Dflowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=3D"text2.html"

All those 5 "funnies" belong to the same email, received last mail. The 
email itself I can read and seems to be normal (considering outlook to be 
normal :-p ). 

A file corruption, maybe.

I will put back all those emails (except the funnies) in the main mailbox 
where they came from, and see if things work correctly now or not. 
I'll leave this email in the drafts mbox till I know.

[...]

(Next day)

No, it wasn't that. I got another email redirected to the inbox. The above 
procedure did not catch the problem.
