Re: [TCLUG:2545] procmail help

You made me curious, so I played around a small bit and I think
this is what you want to do:

:0 Wc
* From.*build.*
| /home/build/updatedb

:0 a
* From.*build.*
| /bin/true

The second rule only runs (and catches the 'c') if the first
rule completes successfully.  The second rule must immediately
follow the first.
