[lug] KMAIL Crashing???

[John Hernandez]

That's a lot of headers for an MUA to process all at once.  Maybe the best approach would be to somehow consolidate all those messages.  Of course, I'm assuming they're automated in some way.  Maybe you're just a popular guy, I don't know.  Another idea would be to use procmail to distribute them among multiple drops as they arrive.
