YES!
I have noticed similar messages whenever a large email comes in.
Such as right now i have a 9 meg file in the mailq.
BUT swapinfo tells me i have 190meg of swap space available.
I feel it unlikely that procmail would run out of that much swapspace.

Subject: "Out of memory as I tried to allocate 8392749 bytes" ?
I just noticed that there were over 20 of these entries in maillog over a
three hour period. That's almost one for each incoming e-mail on this
small system.
I'm running BSDI 3.1 on a PPro 200 with 128 MB RAM and have set up
system-wide procmail spam filtering (which appears to be working).
Any ideas about what is happening?
TIA
