So I just had one of those "the sky is falling" experiences.  After 
about an hour of trying to figure out why Courier wasn't processing any 
mail, I discovered a message in the queue that was in /msgs.  After I 
deleted it, everything in /tmp started processing again.

courierd just kept doing this in the log:

Jan  6 23:38:00 zark courierd: ABNORMAL TERMINATION BY A SIGNAL
Jan  6 23:38:00 zark courierd: Will restart in 60 seconds.
Jan  6 23:39:00 zark courierd: ABNORMAL TERMINATION BY A SIGNAL
Jan  6 23:39:00 zark courierd: Will restart in 60 seconds.
Jan  6 23:40:00 zark courierd: ABNORMAL TERMINATION BY A SIGNAL
Jan  6 23:40:00 zark courierd: Will restart in 60 seconds.
Jan  6 23:41:00 zark courierd: ABNORMAL TERMINATION BY A SIGNAL
Jan  6 23:41:00 zark courierd: Will restart in 60 seconds.

and mailq kept seg faulting.

Of course I deleted the control and data file, but the user was playing 
around with procmail (Yeah, I know!!!) and managed to cause it to bomb 
out (attempting to write to /var/spool/mail I think).

Is there a way I can prevent a user from doing this in the future? (that 
is, preventing bad forward rules from causing problems... not the 
prevention of use of procmail, though that wouldn't be a bad idea either).
