I'm pretty certain that you are out of room on your mail device. Do a
"df" and see if you are out of room.
Three normal things that could cause this:
1. Quota less than 93MB free.
2. Diskspace less than 93MB free (note, this is a user writing, this
user cannot use the root-reserved diskspace).
3. ulimits set such that writing files larger than
size_existing_mailbox+93MB is forbidden.
If none of them makes sense, try this:
Create the /var/mail/mauzy.lock file.
Make sure that sendmail starts emptying the queue.
Figure out which procmail is responsible for delivering the 93MB mail
(shouldn't be too difficult, since it will use a memory footprint of
about 94MB). Start an strace on it, remove the lockfile and see what
happens.
