hi I'm looking for a way to factorize some parts of my procmailrc, as

You should try giving an example - even if not working - as to what you
expect the resulting script might look like. It clarifies what you're
trying to accomplish while at the same time engaging you in the process of
learning how you might split the rules into parts -- I suspect you knew
most of what you were trying to accomplish, but just didn't know the flags
(which are all found in 'man procmailrc'.
[snip - original rules, rolled out]
See 'man procmailrc' for the meaning of 'E' and 'A' flags. If you're
running programs in the rules (not the final 'common' delivery mechanism),
you should instead use 'e' and 'a'. Again, see the manpage for descriptions.
# This FIRST one shouldn't use 'E'.
:0
* $ misc rule 1...
{
SPAMREASON="misc rule 1 match ${MATCH}"
}
# The second, and all subsequent rules (before the 'common delivery') should
# use 'E'.
:0E
* $ misc rule 2...
{
SPAMREASON="misc rule 2 match ${MATCH}"
}
# Note use of 'A'. See manpage.
:0A
{
LOG="${SPAMKILLERTAG}: ${SPAMREASON}
"
:0 fwh
| ${FORMAIL} -i "${XSPAMKILLERHEADER}: ${SPAMREASON}"
# note addition of LOCKFILE (trailing : on flags)
:0:
${SPAMFOLDER}
}
If spamfolder is an mbox, you can actually write those last two bits as:
:0:
| ${FORMAIL} -i "${XSPAMKILLERHEADER}: ${SPAMREASON}" >> ${SPAMFOLDER}
(I do something similar to insert a mailbox identifier on a copy of the
message being delivered to $DEFAULT)
