 I get her in the morning and I probably have about 8 BOGUS mail

 how do I know what one is going to play up and what one isn't?

 this one has just happened


 [root(_at_)mail pma]# ls /var/spool/mail/BOGUS.tolln.1CVB -lsa
 9156 -rw-------  2 tolln Domain Users 9358568 May 29 09:09
 /var/spool/mail/BOGUS.tolln.1CVB
 [root(_at_)mail pma]# ls /var/spool/mail/tolln -lsa
 9172 -rw-------  1 tolln mail 9372211 Jun  2 08:53 /var/spool/mail/tolln

That is a pretty darn big file, isn't it?  Is this happening only
with these big files, perchance?


What I am trying to find out is, what permissions and what owner
and what group will write when the file is not there already.  You
have not yet told me that.  Also, what are the dir permissions?

  ls -ld .


And do you have some other permissions security stuff running,
such as maybe ACL (access control list) stuff or something?

What do the verbose logs say for these failures?

What is the DEFAULT and what is the ORGMAIL value for these
users?

What is the output of

  sh -c "procmail -v 2>&1" | sed 2,9d

Here's mine:

 8:57pm [~/Mail] 675[0]> sh -c "procmail -v 2>&1" | sed 2,9d
procmail v3.23pre++ 2005/10/11 (was 2001/09/13)
