*all*, just in your sandbox for the _few_ errant missiles.  S/b a much
more handleable scenario.

if I filter the messages from /var/mail/$USER with formail/procmail
it works.  I think, it has nothing to do with the messages itself.

The errors are occuring sporadic, which mean, it works a time (maybe
several month) and then I have at once  several 1000 messages in
/var/mail/* and then it continues normaly.

The get this error it is (in theory) required that I whatch the size
of ALL files in /var/mail/* and use "VERBOSE=on" in procmail.

If the error occur, I need to get a E-Mail or other warning.

But because the log of procmail goes into ~/log/procmail/YYYYMMDD.log
it will exceed the quota for the $USER.
