Can anyone think of a situation where a users .procmailrc spawns many
procmail processes?  I've seen this occur a number of times where certain
users suddenly have 50 or more procmails running.

That's users procamail script could be redirecting email and not checking
for circular loops by setting a X-Loop header or something.

How can they, quote:
The users involved have very simplistic procmailrc's ie just testing
headers, never even using formail to test for loops...
