This was the old procmail syntax (you indicated the exact number of 
conditions). You can recognize experienced procmail users too lazy to 
read the release notes that way :-)

Also what does the c for continue processing 
actually do?

By default, a matched rule eat the message. This is not what you want. 
You want them forwarded as well (next rule but to get there you need the 
'c').
