There might be a more efficient procmail-only method for conditional
equality, but it can be done using the shell:
:0

Did you really want $SQLRESULT to be either less than 8 or
greater than 16? I somehow composed the below thinking *between*
8 and 16 (inclusive). Well, for less than 8 or greater than
16, the concept is the same as below, but the specific math
operations are different, of course. Anyway, here's what I
just wrote and was about to send when I saw the "||" above:
Use scoring to do it all in procmail. See "man procmailsc".
LOWER_BOUND = 8
UPPER_BOUND = 16
TINY = 0.000001
:0
* $ $SQLRESULT^0
* $ $TINY^0
* $ -$LOWER_BOUND^0
{
# We're above the lower bound
:0
* $ $UPPER_BOUND^0
* $ $TINY^0
* $ -$SQLRESULT^0
| do_something
}
