Here's some code to test out your question:
exception {
`false`
`echo $RETURNCODE > false.txt`
}
exception {
`true`
`echo $RETURNCODE > true.txt`
}
true simply returns a 0 errorcode (no error) and false returns a 1
errorcode everytime. After putting this in my .mailfilter and sending
myself a test message, I found that true.txt was 0 (no error returned) and
false.txt was 1 (error returned) so yes, this should work fine for you.
Just make sure your using RETURNCODE, not RESULTCODE...
