The recipe above runs ytnefprocess.pl as a filter for every message  
provided that it has X-MS-TNEF-Correlator header and its body contains  
winmail.dat string. The exit result of yynefprocess.pl is checked and  
the message is discarded if the message is nonzero.

I am not familiar with ypnetprocess.pl - maybe it returns non-zero exit  
result?

The ytnef documentation (/usr/share/doc/ytnef-2.6/README) suggest to  
use a basically identical rule:

If you want to use ytnefprocess.pl, then make sure to do the following:

        1) Make a directory ~/.ytnef
        2) Make a directory ~/.ytnef/output
        3) Install the MIME::Parser perl module.  You can do this with:
                perl -MCPAN -e shell
                (let it load)
                install MIME::Parser
        4) Copy ytnefprocess.pl & ytnef to a place like /usr/bin.
        5) Create a .procmailrc something like this:

            PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
            :0fw
            * > 0
            | /usr/bin/ytnefprocess.pl
