Nope, no quota. I am starting to suspect postfix, or somehting with the pipe.
(as user peter) cat <100mb mailfile> | procmail delivers fine.. Very very
very annoying.
postfix has no message limits, since it accepts them
So, it's _accepting_ the _message_. Your problem is with a delivery to a
_mailbox_. The problem is either with a quota or available space.
How large is your /tmp volume, and how much free space do you have
there? How large is your /var/spool/mail/ volume and what sort of free
space do you have there? Have you actually _checked_? Keep in mind that
user _root_ has different write access to the file system than does schmoe
user - so if you're running your delivery tests as root, the results will
not be the same as if you're running them as a user (both because of the
root-accessible "extra" space on a partition, as well as the difference in
quotas).
Remember, *nix is an OS which uses mount points, so apparent free space in
one dir does not equate to free space in another dir which _may_ be
critical. Use 'df' and look for partitions which just might coincidentally
have a size limit right about the size of your problemaatic message/mailbox.

Thanks, but keep in mind that we have a list archive as well as our own
inboxes, so there's really no need to quote the thread back to the
beginning of time, and certainly not in TOFU format.
