You may want to put a "w" on this, i.e., ":0w".  That way, it waits for the
command to finish.  If it fails, you'll see it in the log file.

Same here -- change to ":0w".

I'm not sure.  You might try the "-a" option to fetchmail to force a fetchall,
or use the fetchall user option in your .fetchmailrc.

Where is the procmail.log located?  I guess that was my main question.

Also, you may try that "tiny" recipe below, just to see what those very small
messages are.  Those seem strange.
