Great, we know your OS version, but not the procmail version. If the
question relates to your OS version, perhaps the Mandrake users list would
be more appropriate. Otherwise, please share with us the version info on
procmail.
Everytime my mailbox gets aroung 40-50 MB procmail starts bouncing
emails with attachements.
"around 40-50MB". No specific numbers?
Here is an example from a log:
An example of the RECIPE itself would be truely useful since the procmail
log entry indicates that at a minimum, you have an extra flag in the recipe.
Subject: forgot pic
Folder: **Bounced**
1871290
procmail: Extraneous copy-flag ignored
^^^^ that's a bug in your recipe.
procmail: Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/ryan"
^^^^ that's likely a quota issue or the filesystem device is out of space.
If I empty my mailbox all works fine. I have no quotas and 800MB of free
disk space on that partition.
I suspect otherwise. Have you checked your system logs by any chance?
As root, create a file in the /var/spool/mail dir - not named after a user,
but give it all the same ownership and perms as your USER mailbox (ryan).
Now, as that user (not root), go start concatenating junk into that file,
and see if you don't bump into an error eventually.

I'm sorry, your .sig isn't long enough to be obnoxious. Would you mind
adding the Magna Carta to it?
