I realized I made a big mistake in many of my procmail recipes this
morning when I noticed procmail was consuming all of the CPU on our
mail server. The load was around 4 and climbing. :-( The problem was
with a user that received 3 15MB messages in one shot.
I've been that user :-)
I now have an exclusion that if an email is over 1mb it goes to $DEFAULT
The problem is (I believe) that procmail isn't only parsing the body
(and headers in this example), it's also parsing my attachment.
That's what I need to stop. I would rather not say 'don't scan
messages with attachments' because lately my spam has been both HTML &
plain text and this would allow those spams around that recipe.
You can scan the HTML MIME type and not scan attachments.
scan the body for
* ^Content-Type: text/html
and
* ^Content-Type: (message/rfc822|multipart/)
