Well my filter now performs the following
sub reason {
my $reason = $_[0];
print $Headers;
print "\n";
print "X-Challenge-Reason: $reason\n";
print "\n";
print $Body;
}
and I can see that stdout contains the complete message.
But procmail is seeing the old unchanged message.
Am I understanding things correctly?
I've stepped through in perl and witnessed that this code does execute
and stdout
contains the same message with the X-Challenge-Reason added.
Why is procmail not seeing the changed message?
This is what i see when I run my filter in perl

X-Challenge-Reason: Sender not recognized
this message should be marked as junk
...
That looks prefectly acceptable to me.
But what procmail sees is the original message without
"X-Challenge-Reason" header.
I think what might be confusing the issue is I'm guessing that procmail
doesn't
consider ? syntax ie.
#let filtmail do the rest
:0 HB
* ? $HOME/.filtmail/filtmail
$MAILDIR/copy
a "filter"
but only
:0 fw
* ^Content-type:.*boundary
| $HOME/perlscripts/strip_attachments.pl
I just tried changing
#let filtmail do the rest
:0 HB
* ? $HOME/.filtmail/filtmail
$MAILDIR/copy
to
#let filtmail do the rest
:0 HBf
* ? $HOME/.filtmail/filtmail
$MAILDIR/copy
and it still didn't work.
Will procmail let me change the content of a message that's sent
through the * ? syntax?

I suggest you check out the "sandbox" testing method. You could
easily answer your own question by writing a simple filter and
throwing a test message at it and confirming what it does.
The h and b (lower case) flags define what gets thrown at the filter
(default is both), so you can rewrite headers, or you can rewrite the
body. Rewriting could be as simple as tacking on a footer, or
truncating the body to just a few lines (say you're processing bounce
messages and don't want to receive bounced attachments).
In practice, a procmail filter recipe isn't any different than a pipe
at the shell.
