Are you joking?  --  I process  Logfiles  over  several  100 MByte  with
procmail and procmail is faster then the hell.

The following is the filter to move large email's into the users home 
directory.

:0 f
* > 2048000
| ${FORMAIL} -A"X-Note: Oversize/Not Filtered"

Works a treat.

Here is nothing moved.  FORMAIL add only a Header.

This recipe is run prior to the individual users procmail recipes.  I
would 
like to be able add a condition to this recipe that allows me to
include 
specific From: email addresses that will  send the large email being
sent 
by specific email addresses to /dev/null  and any others to be sent to
the 
users default mail box. This way I can police the continual offenders
who 
eat up disk space with this type of stuff.

How do I code this?

:0
* From:(_dot_)*procmail(_at_)norseaodyssey(_dot_)com
/dev/null

I already remove the messages on a daily basis from the users backup
file 
based on the From: email address.

This may sound Draconian to some but we do not have the luxury of
allowing 
this kind of stuff eat up disk space; especially when people are out
of the 
office and do not check their email for some time.

Diskspace ich cheap!
