Slow mail delivery for few mails

[kunal verma]

Delivery to programs that generate too much output may cause problems

but i m not getting what is that program??i m using *sendmail 8.13 as
MTA* and *procmail* as local delivery agent and using a global
*procmailrc* file for delivering mails to user home directory.

am i missing something??which program is generating the output??
