Heh, the problem isn't with the filesystem, but with the resource limits
that procmail is running with.  Notice that procmail not only gets the
EFBIG error, but also a SIGXFSZ ("exceeded file size").  This indicates
that the file being created was larger than procmail's soft file size
limit.  Since procmail inherits that from the MTA, you should increase
that resource limit in sendmail's startup script using something like
        ulimit -f unlimited
 
Hi Philip,

Thank you very much for pointing my nose on this. I just checked my
postfix setup and realized a parameter 

        mailbox_size_limit = 51200000

ARGH !

sorry for the trouble. I just changed this parameter and now it works
just fine. 

Olaf.
