I was about to suggest something similar in response to one of your
previous messages.

I would have done something like:

 "!messagewallstats | qmail-inject postmaster ; cat previous"

Why do you:

a. use && (to only cat the previous file if the previous command executed
successfully?)
b. exec "cat previous" ?
