mailbox too big ?

2001-12-27 00:15:32
Hi,

I just setup a new mail server with postfix->procmail->uw-imapd

Currently I din't create /etc/procmailrc or any ~/.procmailrc, I just
use procmail as a local delivery agent.

Most things work fine, but procmail can't append to large mailboxes.
Some users have inboxes of more than ~40MB. For these I see error
message like this in my log file:

Dec 22 00:29:41 vmsdmnew postfix/local[7741]: 16DB6862F:
to=<jas(_at_)vmsdmail(_dot_)gmd(_dot_)de>, 
relay=local, delay=20505, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command
output: procmail: Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/jas" )

Some additional infos: 
 - disk space is sufficient, 
 - no quota configured, 
 - file permissions are OK, 
 - delivery to other users (with smaller mailboxes) works without
problems.

I use a SuSE linux 7.3 installation, but I also tried to replace
"procmail" with an unpatched version - without success.

Help is urgently needed !

Thanks, Olaf.

P.S.: As I'm currently not subscribed to the list, I'd be glad to get
replies CC: to my email address.
