This is correct ???
E flag, but not WITHIN the braces of the condition. What you have above
says BOTH recipes within the conditions must match the outermost
condition. Your use of 'e' (not UPPERCASE), means that the preceeding
recipe must have FAILED - this is a useful way to make use of an external
application for performing some check, though more typically, people invoke
the command as part of the conditions. The 'a' flag is nonsensical in your
application, as there is no preceeding recipe at the same block nesting
level. It's an "and" (assuming that the prior recipe didn't deliver and
stop processing).
:0
* condition
action
:0E
action
note that if the action in the first recipe is a delivery, execution of the
procmailrc will end there, and you'd never even reach the second recipe, so
in many typical cases, the 'E' really isn't necessary. If you were running
a 'c' on the first recipe, or if it was a filter, the 'E' becomes necessary.
Also, in your pseudocode, you show multiple action lines under each
sub-recipe. Procmail supports exactly ONE action per recipe. If you have
multiple commands to invoke, you need to invoke them as per chained
commands in your shell (i.e. separate them with semicolons).
You might want to take a few moments and read the manpages. 'man
procmailrc' in particular, which explains all the recipe flags.
