Periodically, we'll get a mail storm and one user in particular kicks off
a whole mess of procmail processes.

1) don't let the user run his own spamd.  Run spamd on the server and
limit the number of processes it can run (-m is the switch).  You
might start off by limiting it to 16 processes or 32 or something that
is well below max load and see how it goes.

2) cluebat the user :)
