Your first recipe looks for apps/audio file and puts the message in 
.messages-rejected.
I would change .messages-rejected to use a traditional mbox file (like 
the spam recipe) rather than a "maildir format". I would also put in the 
full path to the file.

If you have a chance check out bogofilter. It's a spam filtering app 
that works great with procmail.
