Procmail won't play with Postfix

Max B. reminded me about setting up Procmail again, now that I have MDK 9.2 up
and running, but I can't get it to go.
Set up a basic ~/.procmailrc, like last time:
PATH=/usr/bin
PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/pmlog
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing
where
~/Procmail contains rc.testing:
:0:
* ^Subject:.*test
/dev/null
My Postfix config shows:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -Y -a $DOMAIN
but test mails sent with the subject, er, "test", to not go to /dev/null.
Is there some way I can run Procmail from the command line to test it and see
any error output? I read "man procmail" but I can't see anything about
generating verbose output. It's not even generating a logfile as per the
specified location...
The only thing I can think of is the perms on ~/.procmailrc might be wrong:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 joehill joehill 110 Nov 23 16:51 .procmailrc
I've gone through these how-to's:
http://userpages.umbc.edu/~ian/procmail.html
(the one Max linked to)
and
http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/
which I used before on 9.1, but I can't see what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks all!
