Procmail archive emails

Hi All,

i want to archive all sent emails using procmail, for this i have created /etc/procmailrc file, which is causing loop and due to this cpu utilization is 100%, can any one correct me on this.

Code:

LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
:0
* ^From.*contoso.com
{
 :0 c
! backup@contoso.com

:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamassassin

}

You probably have to do something to break the loop like this:

Code:

* ^From: betty@flintstone.net
* !^X-Loop: beenherebefore
	| formail -A "X-Loop: beenherebefore" | \
            $SENDMAIL -oi barney@flintstone.org

(from http://handsonhowto.com/pmail102.html)

You're piping the message into spamassassin it looks like, right? So spamassassin is probably resending / reprocessing the message once it's done... Not sure though.
