I see the problem, it should be solved now. An unusual contents struck
onto an old procmail filter I made against spam (I'm adding _ to the
relevant words so that it passes through):

As I saw, there was a mistake, ac_count on two lines there. I wiped it
from the second one. Also I shifted kon_to to the first line. This way
the posts from Duncan and Stewart went through.

I found them within the /tmp/MMmillions file...

Sorry for the trouble. In such cases, you may write me directly, as I
mostly don't read messages to the list now (even an email to me is not at
all sure to be processed as needed...).
