Timothy Luoma asked,

No, multigram has nothing to do with that. It's for comparing similarity of
addresses.

Well, yes, you can built multigram for yourself without root privileges, but
you don't need it for this anyway.
Procmail has built-in size testing conditions:
:0
* > 10240
do_this
If you want to measure only the body, though, and ignore the size of the
head, it's a little more complicated, because ">" and "<" do not respond
(last I knew) to the H and B flags:
:0B
* 1^1 .
* 1^1 ^.*$
* -10241^0
do_this
The first condition counts characters other than newlines. The second counts
whole lines (and thus gets the number of newlines), but because of a quirk in
procmail's egrep engine, it always registers one too many. That's why we
have to subtract 10241 instead of 10240 in the third condition.
