truncating message if size too big

Hi,

I guess this is quite basic, still i can't solve it. I have searched my
archives of procmail-users (upto Jan 1999) but i couldn't the answer.


The incoming message should be checked for size. If size is too big,
then truncate at process like any other message - it should filter.

This is what i have:

  MAX_SIZE_NMM=10000
  
  :0fw
  * $ > $MAX_SIZE_NMM
  | head -c $MAX_SIZE_NMM

And this is what i get in the logfiles:

  procmail: Assigning "MAX_SIZE_NMM=10000"
  procmail: Match on "> 10000"
  procmail: Executing "head,-c,10000"
  procmail: Error while writing to "head"
  procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
  procmail: Locking "/home/rejo/mp3test.lock"

The message is not limited in size.

So, what am i doing wrong here?

        -R.
