I think you will find the problem is the line:
    (setq nnmail-use-procmail t)

I assumed that this had to be set thus in odrder to make nnmail use
procmail, but this is no so.  I am not sure what the factory setting
is, but I just don't change it and everything workd with an otherwise
almost identical setup to you.

BTW.  Can anyone tell me how to unsubscribe from this list - all
normal majordomo methods have failed me so far (ding-request@,
majordomo@ etc.).  I don't even get a response from ding-request.
