Any ideas?

Are you asking why the program is failing, or why procmail is
requeuing the message?

If the program returns anything but 0, then procmail will assume it
failed, and continue to the next recipe. Your program returns 100, hence
your recipe fails.

In this case there are no valid delivering recipes, and no DEFAULT
since -m was used, so procmail itself will fail, either bouncing the
message, or as in this case where it has been called with -t, requeuing
the message.

As to why "vdelivermail" fails, or what exit code 100 means, that is
your problem and doesn't relate to procmail.
