Re: How to get a count of processed msgs into procmail.log

No answers to my query here so I went to comp.mail.sendmail 

Here is one possibility that I can verify does work for me.

| You may use perl with File::CounterFile module to get persistent
| counters. The module is provided by libfile-counterfile-perl module in
| Linux/Debian. 
| 
| Add the following line at begin of your procmail script. It may be
| safer to absolute path to counter file:
| 
| COUNT=`perl -MFile::CounterFile -e 'print
| File::CounterFile->new("./COUNTER")->inc'`
