On my Job we are having big problem cause users mail messages to
everyone and over 5 MB.  So I was asked to control mails by size and
number of destinities but controling them user per user.  So user 1 may
send messanges to anyone of any size, but user2 only 5 users and not
more than 3 MB.  So the system must send a message back warning what's
happening.

If you really want to limit the size of messages that uses may *send*,
then it's something you'll have to do in your MTA, not in procmail.  If
you're using Sendmail, check out the milter interface described at
http://www.milter.org/.  If you're using Postfix, you may have to do
something fancy with an extra transport.  But whatever your MTA is, it's
not procmail.  [chorus] Procmail is a LOCAL DELIVERY AGENT, and does not
filter mail in-transit.

I was thinging on applying rules like this:

:0 fwc
| /script_to_allow.sh

:0
${DEFAULT}

What is this supposed to achieve?

But I was wonrdering if I can filter them by managing unix groups.

Sure, you can filter by whatever you like, if you're writing the
software to do it.  But this is a much larger problem than you've
imagined so far, and probably has nothing to do with procmail.
