Procmail REs are not case-sensitive, and that will match phrases as well.
Try this:
* ^Subject: *test
-----------^^ two spaces
Which means:
Match "Subject: " at the beginning of the line,
followed by zero or more extra spaces
followed by "test"
NB: It's a damn shame that Procmail's RE parser doesn't understand \s
or + at this time.
