If I'm not mistaken, maildrop ( ports/mail/maildrop ), is a replacement for procmail, and would solve your problem. It is specifically stated in its description that: maildrop is written in C++, and is significantly larger than procmail, in compiled form. However, it uses resources much more efficiently. Unlike procmail, maildrop will not read a 10 megabyte mail message into memory. Large messages are saved in a temporary file, and are filtered from that file. -- Frank Tobin "To learn what is good and what is to be http://www.bigfoot.com/~ftobin valued, those truths which cannot be shaken or changed."
