Jeff,

I must not be wording the problem very well.  Also I can see the bounce 
claiming "Command time limit exceeded: "/usr/bin/procmail"" back to my 
secondary account is originating from my machine by looking directly at 
the SMTP header.  there is absolutely no spammers and spam email 
involved in this situation.

and there is a corresponding (Command time limit exceeded: 
"/usr/bin/procmail") log entry in /var/log/mail.log

so what can I do to circumvent procmail from claiming a time out.  is 
there a global server setting I can configure?

Cheers,

Noah
