If you want to serialize mail processing to cap the machine load you could use a procmail lockfile to only process one message at a time. :0fw:spamc.lock * < 250000 |/usr/bin/spamc That would prevent your machine from being overloaded with large batches of incoming mail. Message processing would be serialized one at a time. Bob
