Procmail external command is called multiple times

Question

I've a debian (9.6) system with standard mbox mailing over postfix (2.9.6-2).

My ~/.procmailrc is very simple:

LOGFILE=/tmp/procmailoggy
LOGABSTRACT=yes
VERBOSE=yes

:0c  
| /home/user/import_email.sh

and my ~/.forward file:

"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail || exit 75 user"

I'd like the mail to be stored as normal and execute the import_email.sh program once, but it gets executed twice (the mail gets stored normally).

How do I achieve that the program gets executed only once?

Here's the log:

procmail: [2814] Tue Feb 26 13:15:59 2019
procmail: Executing "/home/user/import_email.sh"
procmail: [2814] Tue Feb 26 13:15:59 2019

procmail: Notified comsat: "user@8128274:/var/mail/user"

The log snippet only shows the script executing once. How do you determine that it is being run twice? — tripleee, Feb 27 '19 at 09:50
