[hashcash] Re: Procmail Problem

It appears to be hashcash itself, there is something wrong with the -p
1d when checking at the same time.  It basically purges and then exits
succcess! without even looking at the stamp.

As a work around you could do: 

hashcash -p 1d -f hashcash.db && hashcash -cqXd -b24 -f 
$HOME/hashcash/hashcash.db -r testing

the fix is simple add this:

    } else { 
        ret = 1; 
    }

to hashcash.c 1199 instead of

    }

I'll put this fix into the next release plus Jonathan's fix for PPC
bug Hal reported.
