How use few conditions in parallel?
I would recommend a more thorough reading of the man pages. Yea, I caught
the comment at the end of your message, but these are pretty basic constructs.
like this? :
:0c
(* Subject:.*sms & *<1000)
Besides the following comments, it should be noted that even in OR
conditions, the asterisk wouldn't be inside the parens, and I rather doubt
(but can't say for sure, since I don't even use it) that the size construct
may not work as an OR condition on another line - it is a bit of a special
case.
:0c
* ^Subject:.*sms
* < 1000
flags: clone/copy
match subject (that caret is _important_ - it anchors it to the beginning
of the line)
message size smaller than 1000 bytes.
The pipe symbol | what does it mean?
how message is going throught all conditions, programs in proc mail?
Depends on where it is used.
If within a condition, it is a standard OR operator (in which case you'd
put the multiple conditions being OR'd on the same line, in proper REGEXP
syntax).
If at the beginning of the delivery block, procmail pipes the message into
the indicated program. If within the commandline of the invoked programs,
it pipes the results of that program into the next. If it is ESCAPED (\|)
in the delivery rule, it could be interpreted by the called program (most
likely, as part of a regexp there, but it depends on the app).

incorrect syntax - if you have nothing to match, there's no need for a
condition operator (*) - just omit the line.
{
| formail -some
!ble(_at_)ble(_dot_)com(_dot_)rs
}
invalid - cannot do TWO deliveries on one message. Use copy instead. I
have no idea what "-some" is on the formail - I'll assume you mean it to be
_whatever_, rather than something specific. If you mean to forward the
RESULTS of the formail operation, you'll need to PIPE it to sendmail with
the appropriate arguments. If not, and these are supposed to be two
separate deliveries, use the c flag.

Still incorrect to have the star with no condition - FINE to have no
condition, but don't include the star.

headers only, consider this as a FILTER, rather than a delivery. Filter
means just that - the message passes THROUGH this (like a filter on a
camera lens), while delivery means the message is dropped into it's final
destination (be it |piped to an app, !forwarded, stored in a mailbox, or
thrown out to /dev/null)
| formail -some
:0
!ble(_at_)ble(_dot_)com(_dot_)cz
}
The second rule here will be invoked after the formail process does
something. Typically, formail will be used like this to add, remove, or
change some headers -- it is not uncommon on a forward to add an X-Loop
header (which you would of course CHECK for before forwarding).
