I have the following lines in my .procmailrc file:

backup

Isn't overhead for procmail? What I did for backup is following:
WEEK=`date '+%Y%U'
:0 c
/var/spool/backup/$WEEK/
From crontab I delete the old weeks.
Bye,

This creates a folder of up to 100 files, each with a recent email
message. It works very well.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my ISP and sometimes they dump my
inbox and I need to rely on my backup cache. The problem is, I get so much
spam and mailing list mail that 100 emails only takes me back about 4
hours (I don't lose most mailing list mail because it's sorted into folders
as it arrives, but I do lose anything that goes to default).
I have lots of unused disk space and I would like to increase my cache to
1000 files. But I can't see an obvious way to do that from the lines
above.
Anyone know?
Thanks a bunch,
Cyndi
