I can't seem to get exec'ing shell processes to work.
Here's my recipe:
:2:
* ^X-Grey:
| excmd.pl
Change the two to a zero. The number after the colon puts a
lower-bound on the number of conditions in a recipe. Since you told
procmail that there are at least 2 conditions, it treated the
"| excmd.pl" line as condition. Since that string, treated as a
regexp, will match anything (or more precisely, it'll match the
nothingness at the beginning of what is being matched), procmail sees
it as a successful condition. Then it has to go looking for a action,
and it can't find one before it hits the end of your .procmailrc.
Therefore, you can either change the two into a one, or just change it
to zero and let procmail decide what is a condition and what isn't by
what the line begins with.
