I want to do three things with using this Procmail application:
1) Send a reply to all (every time) who sends mail to the
address, by returning a message file.
2) Forward all mail to more than 125 users
3) Be able to (if neccessary) drop mail from certain users
Get a real mailing list manager? SmartList should do all of this
nicely.
Is there a limit, or how to build the distribusjon.list (file
containing all adresses) correctly???
Well, yes, there is a limit. Unices in general restrict how much the
kernel will accept as arguments to the exec family of system calls,
and you can't easily exceed that. (The constant is called ARG_MAX if
memory serves, and POSIX says it must be at least 4096 bytes. SunOS
has something like a megabyte.)

Yeah, you have an error in the formail call, too.
procmail: Excessive output quenched from "cat"
This means cat produced more than could be handled, yes.
