Procmail's pretty conservative. It doesn't look like procmail was the one that died, since you're seeing procmail's output. You get an email, your MTA hands it off to procmail, procmail runs it through spamassassin, which then loses the war and takes your email down with it, procmail sees what happens and mails you to let you know something bad happened. However, it's pretty obvious that you either were doing too much at one time that the machine couldn't swap out and you don't have enough physical RAM, or your swap space is undersized (rare). RAM is dirt cheap these days; the most expensive RAM I can find in the local ads is a Kingston 512MB PC2700 DDR for $74.99; I make security gaurd wages and even I was able to buy more RAM than my computer five years ago had hard drive space... -- .''`.
