​Thank you for the useful alert.
My "
​
quarantine" recipes is placed after SpamAssassin and a bunch of
spam filters among other recipes, and to act upon only a smaller
window of incoming mails on which human resource is greatly wasted.
One other purpose of the "
​
quarantine" is to collect new spams to
periodically feed to SpamAssassin.

​I wish to learn more about the the process ​how these might generate
negative impact on my site.

​procmail: Match on "^.*Verify the mail you sent: \/[0-9a-zA-Z\.]+"
procmail: Assigning "MATCHED=20150130.091948TPMSFSFZL"
procmail: Executing " cat "$MAILDIR/QUARRENTEEN/$MATCHED" >> $SPAM;"
cat: /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/QUARRENTEEN/20150130.091948TPMSFSFZL: No such file or
directory
procmail: Program failure (1) of " cat "$MAILDIR/QUARRENTEEN/$MATCHED" >>
$SPAM;"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/mail/Mail-error"
procmail: Opening "/var/mail/Mail-error"

This explains all. ​I need to improve my recipe to catch these.​
​Thank you!
