Procmail Problems

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I am setting up test filter with
procmail. To filter out any emails with the word test or any combination,
such as 'tttttest'. I have a .procmailrc, testing.rc all in .procmail
directory.

testing.rc file

:0:in.testing.lock
* ^Subject:*test
in.testing


.procmailrc file

MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail

     # Directory for storing procmail log and rc files
     PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail

     LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log

     # Next line for testing.  Add # at beginning when not needed.
       INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/testing.rc

log file

procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/myhome/.procmail/testing.rc"
procmail: No match on "^Subject:*test"
procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/myhome.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/myhome"
procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/myhome"
procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/myhome.lock"
procmail: Notified comsat: "myhome at 1236:/var/spool/mail/myhome"
