Problem:
Procmail seems to choke and timeout on large 2 + megabyte files.
As long as you have the memory, procmail should not be choking. I'll
note that you *must* have enough memory, as procmail needs to read in
the whole message anyway, so if that's the problem, get more
memory(!).
Please include your procmail, OS, and sendmail (or whatever) version
numbers.
Question:
Since these large files are typically files with attachments I was curious if
there was a way to tell procmail within the rc file to only grep the first 30
lines or so of each message? If so, can this be set as a universal or does it
need to be in each filter string? I can't use the header only grep as I need
to filter within the mail body to prevent over filtering.
No, there isn't.
