Check the ulimit that your sendmail is running under. It may explicitly be
limited to less than 4MB of memory.

Thanks for the reply.

If you read the errpt output in my previous message, procmail was
killed after having allocated ~120MB worth of paging space, seems a
little to large for a 4MB spool file.
