There is no action line for the first recipe (see marked line): There
must be an action line after the conditions of a recipe. A blank line
doesn't work. See the procmail errors after the "Match on"?

The syntax for testing a zero return valiue is:
:0
* ? some-program
action-if-zero-status
:0e
action-if-nonzero-status
To test for a specific value of the return status:
STATUS=`some-program >/dev/null 2>&1; echo $?`
:0 # test for STATUS == 1
* STATUS ?? ^1$
action-if-status==1
:0E
* STATUS ?? ^2$ # test for STATUS == 2
action-if-status==2
... # and so on.
