Filtering problem

I am not sure why my filtering isn't working.

I have a couple email address that get nothing but spam, so I set up a filter to send anything sent to those accounts to the trash.

Thing is, that the email still gets through to me.

This is what my .procmailrc file looks like. The file was created when I set up the filters through the web page interface.

### PROCMAILRC FILE GENERATED BY DREAMHOST -- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! ###

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir

SHELL=/bin/sh
# no procmail_log


# filter 1
:0
* ^TO_crc@domain.com
/dev/null

# filter 2
:0
* ^TO_uproar@domain.com
/dev/null

# filter 3
:0
* ^TO_cheryl@domain.com
/dev/null

# catch all for inbox
:0
$HOME/Maildir/

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

**EDIT**

It might be because of the way I have things setup. I use my domain to have a unique email address at sites I visit. They are not actual email accounts.

For instance, if I register at xyzwidgets.com, I will make an email address xyzwidgets@domain.com

I have an account I created, account.

I have catch-all turned on for domain.com which forwards to account@domain.com.

and then account@domain.com forwards to myisp_email.isp.com

Confusing, I know. but I don't want to have to create a unique user/email account for each site I visit. I also use it to track email from friends.

For instance, I tell my friend tom to email me at say tom@domain.com

That way when I scan the From field in my email program or use rules to route the mail once its on my local machine, I know I have an email from Tom.

I also have a line in there to set up a log, nothing is being written to my log file.

# Directory for storing procmail configuration and log files
# You can name this variable anything you like, for example
# PROCMAILDIR, or don't set it (but then don't refer to it!)
PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail

# LOGFILE should be specified ASAP so everything below it is logged
# Put ## before LOGFILE if you want no logging (not recommended)
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/pmlog

# To insert a blank line between each message's log entry,
# uncomment the next two lines (this is helpful for debugging)
LOG="
"

# Set VERBOSE to yes when debugging; VERBOSE default is no
VERBOSE=yes

LOGABSTRACT=all


# Replace $HOME/Msgs with the directory where your personal (non-system-spool) mailboxes reside
# Mailboxes in maildir format or served by Courier IMAP are often in $HOME/Maildir
# Mailboxes served by UW IMAP are sometimes in $HOME, sometimes in $HOME/mail, & sometimes elsewhere
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir

My .procmailrc is pretty close to yours, except that I have a SHELL line...

Header (notice '#' in front of log, not logging at this point):

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
#LOGFILE=$PMDIR/logfile.log
SHELL=/bin/sh

Then rules (example):

:0
* ^From:.*(newdream.net|dreamhost.com)
.Dreamhost/

and then at the end a catch all to send rest to Inbox...

:0
$HOME/Maildir/

Also, didn't see it mentioned, make sure you have a .forward.postfix file with the following content in it (including the double quotes):

"|/usr/bin/procmail -t"

Thanks.. got all that stuff in there.

Not sure why it doesn't work and why the logging part isn't working. If I could have that at least working, I might see why my rules aren't working.
*sigh*
