procmailrc(5):
       w    Wait  for  the  filter or program to finish and check
            its exitcode (normally ignored);  if  the  filter  is
            unsuccessful,  then  the text will not have been fil�
            tered.

The rule will not deliver so procmail continues.

That may be possible with procmail magic. The procmail user list
is a good point to ask for help.
