No problem, I know the feeling.
I still don't have any ideas for you, but the procmail man page offers
this description of the error message:
Nonexistent subdirectory, no write
permission, pipe died or disk full.
Well yes I saw that one, but it doesn't tell me a lot. It lists pretty
much all the reasons that can cause a write error. it would help if it
can be pinned down more.
Because procmail can write to the file when run from the command-line,
your guess that postfix is the culprit seems reasonable. I know nothing
of postfix, but does it run as a non-priviledged user other than the
user "maillist"? Of course that would explain this only if the other
When delivering mail to user 'maillist', it will run as user maillist.
Somebody else susggested a possible ulimit problem. I'll have a look and
see what postfix does, try setting ulimit unlimited in bash config
files, check postfix source code, stuff like that.
