Nope. Verbose procmail logging logs the filter scripts that mail is
passed through. The sanitizer is an unreasonably large filter script.
This is expected behavior, and the mail *is* being sanitized - unless,
of course, you get some error message about the perl script then
failing...

You wouldn't see these log messages if the sanitizer was not
processing the message.

Important note: the local rules suggested on the website must be run
*BEFORE* the sanitizer (html-trap) script or they have no effect.
