Gary asked,
I tried running my SA markup extractor as follows:
formail -n 4 -s procmail $HOME/scripts/remove_sa_markup.rc < spam.mbox
What actually happened is that the system became swamped by hundreds of
procmail processes, so I had to kill the job.
1. Does that rcfile clone procmail at any point, or reinvoke procmail
recursively?
2. What happens if you don't use -n at all and let formail wait for each
procmail to end before forking the next?
3. What happens if you type "-n4" without the space (shouldn't make a
difference, but I'm placing no bets)?
