You will have to give us more details about your setup. Can we guess 
that fetchmail directly hands the mail to procmail as the MDA? If so 
verify that your procmail recipe is really used. Enable verbose logging by

VERBOSE=yes
LOGABSTRACT=all
LOGFILE=/desired/path/to/procmail.log

If your fetchmail setup involves postfix or dovecot, then please provide 
details.

Things do not start to behave differently without a system change. So 
think about what you might have changed. Any updates applied? While 
saying so, you hopefully run CentOS 7 latest and not 7.1.
