We want to deliver directly to a user's home directory. But this can of
course be temporarily full. Then the mail should _not_ bounce, but instead
be put back in the mailqueue and tried again until either it succeeds or
sendmail bounces it after 5 days (as usual).

The README file says this is my choice (to bounce or not), but I cannot
find any place where I can set this. What is the correct place to set this
behaviour?

The -t flag causes procmail to return EX_TEMPFAIL where it normally
would have returned EX_CANTCREAT.  If you've made procmail the local
delivery agent then you should add -t to the A= define, _before_ the
-d flag.
