The problem is my list of domains has reached 23k and 1615 lines, and
now I get this error from procmail:

Is there some way I can easily increase this value that procmail uses to
determine "Excessive output"?

I can't directly answer your question, but I can offer a probable workaround:

BLOCKDOM1=`cat /etc/local/mail/DeniedNames1`

break your file in half (or lessen the original 'till it doesn't break any
more (and then some), and move the extras into DeniedNames1.  Add new
records to DeniedNames1.  Double up the recipes (this could be a trivial
task, depending on how you have them written).

Otherwise, you might consider egrepping for matches in a different fashion
- like directly from the file.
