procmail said it's dangerous

How? Some technical reason or the possibility to lose some mail? I would be interested in the former, but the latter is just to bad, rather lose on in several thousand mails than having to cope with spam.

One reason I think is that it might tag real mail as spam

Another thing I noticed with procmail is the qmail queue built up realy quick. One day it was 6 mails in the queue the next day I rechecked it was over 300 and this is small email server. Could't imagine if it was a large e-mail server recieving 200,000+ emails per day
