OK, forget bouncing large messages. Let me try to get something
simple working.
procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/wwgrol.lock"
<snip>
The lock failure is not surprising:
257 -> ll /var/spool/mail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 9 Apr 14 08:23 /var/spool/mail ->
/var/mail
<snip>
.procmailrc :
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/home/wwgrol/bin
MAILDIR = $HOME/Mail
LOGFILE = $MAILDIR/Log_File
LOGABSTRACT = no
Did you try setting DEFAULT=/var/mail/wwgrol?
Another question might be, "what is causing procmail to use /var/spool/mail
whatever, and why?" (It seems to me that procmail wouldn't be the only
program affected by this, so unless there's a good reason why not switch
the whole system to spool in /var/mail.)
