Do Procmail rules still take effect on messages moved to spam?

Just a quick question...

Do Procmail rules still take effect on messages moved to spam?

The move to spam rules come top in the Filter list, and I cant move them. Yet IU have a rule after this to delete messages that contain SPAM in the subject (these are forwarded from another server that adds this). But they are not deleted. So I wondered if Procmail does not apply the rule after its moved to spam, or there is an error in my Procmail rule, which is:

:0 * ^Subject: .****SPAM**.|^Subject: .You have no events scheduled today.|^Subject: .at Estate Agents. /dev/null

Thanks

P.S. this forum is stripping characters, its .* followed by 3 *'s then SPAM then 3 *'s.

Are your to-be-deleted messages maybe caught by the first "spam" rule? In that case, further rules wouldn't apply anymore, since the first match is used. Otherwise, the subsequent rules should be checked.
