Re: Getting "Command time limit exceeded"

At 13:15 2003-04-02 -0500, Richard Bates did say:
.forward
        "|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #user"

.procmailrc
        :0 c
        !u998(_at_)172(_dot_)18(_dot_)1(_dot_)9

        :0 Wh: msgid.lock
        | formail -D 8192 msgid.cache

Have you considered putting such rules in /etc/procmailrc ?

Or, /etc/procmailrc/somercfile.rc and use INCLUDERC to access them?

Or, specify an rcfile on the commandline in .forward?

I have the following line in the postfix main.cf
       mailbox_command = /usr/local/bin/procmail -t -o -d $LOGNAME

in the default procmailrc I have the following rules/recipe set

The "default" procmailrc? You mean /etc/procmailrc ? It is shorter to write, and absolutely ZERO confusion about what file you're speaking of.

        :0fw: spamassassin.lock
        | /usr/local/bin/spamassassin
        :0:
        * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
        /var/mail/u998

This is delivering the spew messages to the u998 mailspool. Notably, it isn't delivering them to the u998 *user* (say, if there's a .forward or .procmailrc for that user).

<u998(_at_)172(_dot_)18(_dot_)1(_dot_)9>: Command time limit exceeded: "exec
/usr/local/bin/procmail
    || exit 75"

FTR, this bounce doesn't claim that there were any arguments to procmail, which is in contrast to the configs you provided.

You should check with the postfix people about what this time limit is, to get some idea as to the amount of time you're talking about.

How often does this occur? Each message? One in ten? Only when you have a cluster of messages to handle?
