On Source Forge, there's this little utility,

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ctk-ulimitw/

"Ulimitw in an ulimit wrapper. Ulimitw is a C program that has been made
in order to wrap procmail's max filesize delivery limit but could be
used with any program."

Looks like someone may have gone down this path before.  Might be worth
checking out.

      Unfortuantely, its not portable enough, won't compile on
BSD/OS.  GRRR...

The Source Forge entry says "POSIX". Your Un*x C compiler/library doesn't
hav POSIX support as a compilation option? Time to retire that VAX 11/750?
<g>


      But its basically hitting the user limit?


It seems likely. If you're using "smrsh" (Sendmail restricted shell) to
execute "|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail" in your .forward file, then (1)
procmail must be present under the /etc/smrsh directory, and (2) likewise,
any wrapper that you add will have to be present (or linked, via a symlink),
as well to override the restriction on user limits imposed by smrsh.
